Abstract
Based on a synthesis of the existing academic and policy
literature, this article undertakes a situational analysis of youth employment
in developing countries. The article analyses existing interventions across
sectors and provides insights into how they can be harnessed to generate
employment opportunities, citing examples of specific projects. This has
been undertaken with a view to bringing to light interventions that have
been proven to work, as well as demonstrating the sources of failure.
Finally, the article distils key emerging issues related to human capital and
the business environment. These have been shown to be binding constraints
to higher productivity, and can be used as inputs to shape policy discourse
around youth employment.
