Chapter 12, “Urbanization and Structural Transformation,” describes patterns of urbanization in Ethiopia and government policy to promote development of secondary cities.

We provide new evidence on the impact of social protection interventions on household size and the factors that cause the household size to change: fertility, child fosterage, and in and out migration related to work and marriage.

Despite evolving evidence that Africa is experiencing urbanization in a different way, empirical evaluations of the welfare implications of urban-development programs in Africa remain scant.

African governments have made youth employment a policy priority, and African youth are demanding policies that improve their job prospects.

Africa is likely to experience warming and increased climate variability by the late 21st century. Climate extremes have been linked to adverse economic outcomes.

The share of working-age young people in Africa south of the Sahara has risen due to past declines in mortality coupled with high fertility.

Chapter 8 combine household and firm level analysis for Tanzania to examine what determines the success of rural nonfarm enterprises, including the role of young entrepreneurs.

Chapter 5 focuses on Ethiopia’s land constraints and asks if this is driving youth off the farm and into the rural nonfarm economy.

Chapter 10 concludes by summarizing the major findings and discusses their implications for youth employment and inclusive growth in rural Africa.

Chapter 6 addresses Malawi’s weak agricultural transformation, and asks if rural households, particularly youth, are engaging in multiple forms of employment that may not be adequately reflected in national data.

Chapter 2 uses new household survey data to investigate youth migration patterns in four African countries, paying particular attention to the effect of land scarcity on young people’s decision to migrate to urban centres.

The share of working-age young people in Africa south of the Sahara has risen due to past declines in mortality coupled with high fertility.

Chapter 3 reviews national policies in 13 African countries, and uses a novel approach to classify policies according to the employment constraints they address.

Chapter 4 examines whether African youth are more politically engaged than their older counterparts, and to what extent their demands for political action are motivated by concerns about jobs and unemployment.
