Offer learning by doing to assure youth of jobs

Despite politically motivated rhetoric that Tanzania’s economy is growing at a significant pace, the number of youth without jobs is still alarming. By 2011, the unemployment rate was at 10.7 per cent, a slight drop from 11.7 per cent in 2007. A survey by an NGO, Restless Development, also reveals that only 14 per cent of over 1,000 youth in Tanzania have wages to speak of.

>Constituent Assembly (CA) member Beatrice Shelukindo has suggested that the new Constitution should contain provisions that assure the youth of employment.

>At least 70,000 self-employment chances were created for marginalised youth in the past three years in the country through a programme under the International Labour Organisation (ILO) dubbed ‘kazi nje nje.’

 It is fashionable, nowadays, to refer to youth unemployment as a ticking time bomb. The analogy is scaring because a bomb is lethal, for it leaves death and destruction in its wake when it detonates.

>Jobs, sex and money top the list of what African youth, including Tanzanian, want most, according to a report published by the Mail & Guardian Africa.
