Uganda Jobs Strategy: Creating More Jobs for Uganda’s Youth and Economic Transformation
Uganda is experiencing a rapid growth in the number of both qualified job seekers and working-age population. Approximately, 800,000 young people cross to working age annually. However this growth is not directly proportional to the growth in higher productivity jobs. Statistics show that over 70 percent of working age are employed and unemployment rate is low. This is ignorant of the fact that majority are in unpaying jobs.
