SUMMARY:African Youth in Waithood
DESCRIPTION:Program \nAlcinda Honwana\, Visiting Professor at The Open University\, Milton-Keyns\, UK \nOmar Belhaj Salah\, The European Institute of High International Studies\, Nice\, France \nModeration: Monika Kalcsics\, journalist\, ORF/Ö1\, Vienna \nWelcome: Franz Schmidjell\, VIDC \nLanguage: English \nRegistration: schmidjell@vidc.org \nBackground \nYoung Africans are experiencing ‘waithood’\, a prolonged period between adolescence and adulthood. As a result of a lack of jobs and not being able to support a family\, young people are stuck in ‘waithood’\, when they cannot expect assistance from parents or the state but do not enjoy the privileges of full-fledged adulthood either. \nWith 200 million people between the ages of 15 and 24 and another 400 million under 14\, Africa has the youngest population in the world. In North Africa\, the youth unemployment rate is 30%\, and even worse in some Sub-Sahara African countries. Young women feel the sting of unemployment even more sharply\, regardless of their skills. Young Africans are better educated than their parents and have higher expectations\, but they are less likely to have jobs or political influence. \nDisaffected young people risk their lives trying to reach Europe. Others join radical groups such as Boko Haram or the “Islamic State”. Youth protesting their socio-economic and political marginalization have been able to change governments in Tunisia and Burkina Faso. \nHas the social contract – under which society integrates its youth into the economy as productive adults – been broken under the neoliberal paradigm? Is the ‘waithood’ generation entering an era in which they are manipulated by the elites into fighting ethnic and religious conflicts? Or will they find ways to fight for their own socio-economic and political rights? \n
