Abstract

The Youth Self-Employment in Ethiopia survey data indicates the need for school-to-work targeted transition schemes that relate to demands of the economy as well as to the aspirations of young people. Existing private-sector employers are incapable of absorbing the rising numbers of young people entering the workforce. A viable strategy for public authorities would encompass creating conditions for young people to establish their own businesses. The brochure provides information on labour markets and youth, along with recommendations for policy. Young people seeking wage employment or self-employment opportunities have little access to relevant information.
