Why the youth feel left behind by the societyWhenever I speak with our youth —and I speak to very many of them as part of my daily duties— the question of how to deal with youth and challenges which face them remain a black spot in Kenya today. This is especially so because unemployment in Kenya is marked by inequality and discrimination as Kenya’s youth unemployment is higher than national unemployment average. Studies have shown that most of the leaders are only young in age – but they have not supported youth causes. Secondly, with the youth unemployment rate that has doubled and the regular unemployment rate, the question is about the future of jobs. Fifth, county and national governments have failed to agree on where youth function lies.
