Abstract
This document discusses the mobile industry's role in addressing youth employment challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasizing its potential as a significant job creator for the region's growing but inadequately skilled youth population. While the sector is expected to employ 1.5 million youth by 2025, most jobs will remain in the informal sector, raising concerns about job quality.
