A research by the African Development Bank shows that about 100 million young Africans may be jobless by 2030 if much is not done to create jobs for these young people.

Pan-African research group Afrobarometer, also added that unemployment is the main concern of those between the ages of 18 and 35.

Only over 3 million formal employment are produced annually, despite the fact that 8 to 11 million young people are expected to enter the workforce annually over the next several decades.

This problem affects even South Africa, the most developed nation on the continent.

It has one of the highest rates of youth unemployment in the world, with 61% of those between the ages of 15 and 24 unemployed.
