As outlined in the INCLUDE two-pager on youth employment in Sub-Saharan Africa published in March 2015, there are several concerns about the employment of youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. Issues such as job stability, proper training, informal work, under-employment and unemployment are posing challenges for the large number of Sub-Saharan African youth. The earlier two-pager described how these issues are increasingly being put on the agenda of researchers and discussed at conferences in Africa. This two-pager follows up on the earlier overview, by outlining the recent conferences, seminars and online resources on this theme.
