A young person in Kenya has three options of breaking out of poverty or become financially independent —education, entrepreneurship and talent. The number of formal jobs has been on the decline. According to the KNBS, the number of formal jobs decreased from 19 per cent in 2009 to 16.6 per cent in 2017. Therefore, a typical young person using the route of education will experience a roadblock when it comes to finding a formal job. Completely disappointed, the young person turns to the route of talent.
