Abstract
Youth empowerment and entrepreneurial capabilities are critical to ensuring economic growth and eliminating extreme poverty in developing countries. Globally some 200 million youths work for less than $2 a day, the majority of which live in developing countries. With elevated youth unemployment rates – almost 30% in North Africa – along with increased susceptibility to working poverty and a growing youth population, there is a need to boost job creation and higher quality job opportunities.
