The case study ‘Decent Jobs for Youth and Women in Nigeria’s Low-Carbon Transition’ presents findings from, ‘A Green and Inclusive Future for Youth in the Global South‘, a collaborative research programme between the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and INCLUDE.

To address critical questions about the balance between LCT objectives and job creation for youth and women, the case study draws on evidence from a series of case study interviews with key stakeholders within the Nigerian Low Carbon Transition sector as well as grey and academic literature.

This aims to identify the perspectives of youths and women on the hindrances to a just transition, the impact of national policies on inclusive job creation, and the necessary policy adjustments for enhanced inclusive participation in the transition process.
