However, the problem is not only unemployment, but underemployment and a lack of secure and decent work. The informal economy, where many young people find a livelihood, may not absorb all jobless youth and offers largely insecure work. This is particularly challenging in agriculture, where work is highly unstable and low paid, putting off potential young recruits to the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microfinanceassociation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/youth.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"293\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal; color: #ffffff; text-align: left;\">The Microfinance Association has set up a Regional Alliance Network to address some of the challenging issues on youth unemployment in Africa.
