State challenged on job creation policies

NAIROBI, KENYA: The government needs to create robust policies to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities especially for the youth who account for 78 per cent of the population below the age of 35 in Kenya.

During a public lecture at the Aga Khan University, Dr Alex Awiti, Vice Provost at Aga Khan University East Africa said that the country is not creating enough economic opportunities for the young generation bearing in mind that from a workforce and labour supply perspective, this is the perfect demographic structure for prosperity.
