The Youth Café appreciates the chance to participate in the consultation with the European Union Delegation To Kenya to provide written input in the project on connecting, engaging and empowering youth in Kenya. Through our Strategic Plan and Theory of Change, we will participate more logically with the youth in Kenya to ensure that the voices of young people are not only heard but also empowered.
The latest unemployment statistics show a continued rise in the levels of youth unemployment with the expanded unemployment rate creeping up to 52% for youth aged 15 to 34 years (Statistics South Africa, 2019). The most significant contributor to this situation is the limited growth in the number of jobs that can match the number of new work seekers entering the labour market each year.
Our role is to bridge the gap between young people and the labour market. We work with both informal and formal sectors to raise the quantity and quality of career opportunities.
