Youth development programs: while training and skills-building initiatives are important, they are insufficient on their own if they do not lead to actual employment opportunities. Many young people complete vocational or professional training but struggle to transition into the labor market due to a lack of jobs, weak linkages between education and industry needs, or inadequate support for entrepreneurship. Experts argue that addressing youth unemployment requires not only investing in training but also creating pathways for practical work experience, mentorship, and access to employment opportunities, ensuring that skills translate into meaningful economic participation.
