With over 400 million people between the ages of 15 and 35, Africa has the world’s youngest population — and by 2050, this youth population is projected to increase by 73%. As Grace Natabaalo and Chelsea Horváth at Caribou Digital explain, young Africans are leveraging digital platforms to find work, education and more — but they face numerous challenges in accessing and using technology. They share highlights from a new report based on discussions with 20 young people from seven countries across Africa, which show the impact of digital technology — and how this impact could be amplified. https://lnkd.in/gEccgRqu #Africa #technology #DigitalPlatforms #DigitalTechnology #youth #SubSaharanAfrica #YouthEmployment #FutureOfWork #employment

About us
NextBillion is an open forum for the development through enterprise sector. An initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan, the site is a community of business leaders, social entrepreneurs, NGO managers, policy makers, academics and others exploring the connection between development and for-profit business. We publish guest-written content from entrepreneurs, researchers and others working on the ground in emerging markets, along with regular interviews with the thought-leaders who are shaping the sector. NextBillion also offers an editor-curated news feed, a calendar of important events, and a jobs board with continuously updated employment opportunities across the development through enterprise sector. Most of our content is published free of charge, with the goal of advancing knowledge and promoting discussion. But we also offer content partnerships to organizations that want additional coverage on the site.
