Title
ILO Youth Country Brief - Rwanda: Youth Labour Markets and the School-to-Work Transition
Author

Year

Abstract
This ILO brief details Rwanda's youth labour markets, noting impressive economic growth since 2000. However, the nation remains low-income with pervasive low-quality employment, high working poverty, and extensive informal work (94.3%). Many youth (47.6%) are "in transition," often trapped in unsatisfactory jobs or the potential labour force. Government policy aims to create 1.5 million decent jobs by 2024, though the strategy focuses heavily on skills and entrepreneurship rather than wage employment creation.
