Education on the Rise, Unemployment in Ambush: The Deadlock of Togolese Youth 15/09/2025
Summary :
The article “Education on the Rise, Unemployment in Ambush: The Deadlock of Togolese Youth, Afrobarometer, June 2025” highlights the paradox between increasing educational attainment among young people in Togo and their ongoing struggles to find meaningful employment. While 71% of young Togolese have completed at least secondary education (19% post-secondary), nearly half report being unemployed and actively seeking work. The major barriers cited include inadequate training, insufficient professional experience, mismatch between skills received and market demands, as well as lack of entrepreneurial skills or motivation. Despite government reforms — national volunteer programs, vocational training with alternating models, youth economic initiative funds — the rates of unemployment and underemployment remain high. Moreover, young people express pessimism about the country’s economic trajectory and their living conditions. Civic and political engagement among youth remains modest compared to older generations.
