To boost economic growth, Africa must invest in better skills for better jobs. By 2050, Africa’s working-age population will double. Education levels are rising, but most workers still have low-quality, informal jobs due to skill gaps and a lack of quality employment. Over 80% of African young people aim for high-skilled jobs, but only 8% find them. Skill shortages in key sectors, such as agrifood, renewable energies and mining, hinder private investment, perpetuating economic informality. How can we shift this dynamic? ➡ Expand quality education ➡ Develop national skill strategies ➡ Improve labour market data ➡ Boost informal worker productivity ➡ Invest in technical and vocational education ➡ Harmonise regional frameworks Learn more in the new #AfricaDevelopment Dynamics report 👉 https://oe.cd/il/5Cv African Union
