Addressing Youth Unemployment in Uganda; The Inevitable Advice of the 21st Century

The issues raised in this policy brief provide a body of recommendations to policy makers including: the central government, local governments, curriculum developers, educationalists, and other policy implementers. It also highlights a clear vision on how the rampant youth unemployment in Uganda can be reduced. The aim is to improve the general welfare of the youths and their contribution towards Uganda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The youths will be able to attempt to move into self-employment and happen to set up their own businesses. Although, many youth start-ups fail, the experience of working contribute effectively to the growth and development of their country.
