Youth unemployment remains one of the biggest challenges in Africa, with 21.9% of young people categorized as NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training). The situation is even more difficult for young women, who make up three in five of those affected. Additionally, it takes an average of 2.5 years for graduates to secure employment, delaying economic growth and preventing Africa from fully leveraging its demographic advantage.
