Scientific Study from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Children and Youth, Catholic University College of Ghana, language: English, abstract: Youth organizations and youth-serving organization has become a strategic tool in employment creation and fighting extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa in recent times. The main purpose of this study is to help readers across the globe understand the main issues and challenges that youth organisations and youth-serving organisations face in Kailahun with respect to employment promotion.

The study methodology was questionnaire-based interviews. The survey covered a total of 373 youth organisations in the district, which cover a total of 20,058 members. The findings of the survey show that most of the youth organisations are active in the field of agriculture (91%) and in education (22%). In general, every area of activity and every objective of youth organisations is a means for income generation for their members.

The most common reason of unemployment, mentioned by the youth organisations, is the lack of job opportunities (63%) and lack of or inadequate education (45%). Still, 41% believe that the high rate of youth unemployment is caused by lack of available skills training centres in the district.
