Un(der)employment and Inequality in Africa – Inequality in an Africa Context

Dr. Basani Baloyi joins Prof Ernest Aryeetey, Hon Prof Trevor Manuel and Prof Murray Leibbrandt to discuss Un(der)employment and Inequality in Africa at the 2018 International Inequalities Institute Annual Conference. There has been a close relationship between trends in unemployment and inequality in Africa in recent years – with both remaining extremely high. Unemployment is a top development challenge for many African policy makers. With the youngest population in the world, the African continent can only expect greater pressure on its labour markets, as hundreds of millions of young Africans begin to explore development and growth opportunities across and beyond their communities. Contributions provided an overview of the themes addressed at the conference, such as the current status of inequality in Africa and how young people can challenge inequality and unemployment and inequality.
