Development Impact, Employment, Gender, Income, Technology skill-upAbstract
Youth unemployment has become a prominent feature of African economies. This phenomenon runs in the background of a growing demand for digital/technology skills on the continent; there is an inadequate pool of tech talent to match the new jobs created in which women are increasingly been underrepresented. This study assesses the impact of recent efforts by an emerging organization, Tech4Dev, who seek to bridge the digital skills divide, particularly among underserved groups in Africa.
