Dear all,
here comes a very interesting new Rural 21 publication (http://www.rural21.com/english/current-issue/ ) on the challenges and potentials for rural youth and their difficulties to find decent jobs.
Particularly the first two articles ( “Time to Act” & “ Decent jobs for rural youth”) are very recommendable to read if you’re interested in this issue.
Vol. 51 Nr. 3/2017: Tapping the potential of rural youth
Given that today, two out of five economically active youth around the world are unemployed, or work, but live in poverty, and that alone in sub-Saharan Africa, the youth population is set to double, reaching more than 350 million by 2050, creating income and employment opportunities for these young people is certainly one of the areas in most urgent need of action. We demonstrate initiatives addressing these issues from a wide range of countries throughout the world, and let representatives of development co-operation, politics, the private sector and, last but not least, rural youth give their views.
