Employability Research in Africa

"Employability Research in Africa" explores the causes of high graduate unemployment in African countries. It offers empirically grounded analyses of labour market dynamics and graduate experiences. It also suggests and evaluates measures to improve the chances of African graduates on the labour market or as business founders. It discusses sectoral perspectives, strategies and innovations in universities, skills development through digital technologies, and implications of technological change. The African cases help to rethink the concept of employability itself. This book provides insights for scholars, educators, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to bridge the gap between education and employment and to promote inclusive development.
