Young people in Africa are full of hope
ANBOUND

Fundamental rationality of history and human development show the world will continue to develop toward global amalgamation. In the marginal regions of the world market such as Africa, during the process of globalization, cheap and rich human resources will participate in the mainstream market. According to the estimations of the United Nations, 60% of the African population in 2017 is young people aged 24 or younger. With the global population aging, in the next 50 years, Africa is the only region in the five continents where the net increase in youth population has been achieved. By 2040, young people aged 15 to 24 in Africa will double from the current 200 million to more than 400 million. In 2017, the average youth unemployment rate in African countries had reached 10.8%. If employment channel is open, young Africans will be full of hope in this ageing world.
