"A Youthful Population, A Jobless Future: Côte d'Ivoire's Demographic Dilemma" Côte d'Ivoire, a country in West Africa, boasts one of the world's most youthful populations, with over 60% of its citizens under the age of 25. However, this demographic dividend has yet to translate into economic prosperity, as the country grapples with a severe jobs crisis. With a growing number of young people entering the workforce each year, Côte d'Ivoire is facing a daunting challenge in providing them with meaningful employment opportunities. As the country seeks to stimulate economic growth and development, its policymakers must find innovative solutions to address the pressing issue of youth unemployment, or risk perpetuating a cycle of poverty and disillusionment among its most vital demographic.
Côte d’Ivoire has one of the youngest populations in the world, and like many other African countries, it is struggling to create jobs for them all.
