Youth unemployment: a global security challenge/
Mohamed Ali
- 2014
This article emphasises that the lack of employment opportunities for youth particularly in urban cities around the world is among the greatest security and development challenges today and has resulted in the underemployment, inequality and marginalization of youth. Thus, it is essential to develop strategies to harness the incredible power of youth inventiveness and dynamism to generate economic growth and employment. Rather than being a burden, the bulge can become a demographic gift. Entrepreneurship and the private sector can leverage the potential of this population and provide a bottom-up approach to youth job creation.
