CONTINENTAL CORRUPTION BIGGEST ISSUE FOR AFRICAN YOUTH
- Two thirds of African youth want to emigrate with North America and Western Europe as top destinations
These findings are based off the 2024 edition of the African Youth Survey, which indicated that despite Africa’s youth having bounced back from the ravages of COVID 19, they aren’t happy with the direction their governments are taking. They are unafraid to speak out and they are unequivocal about what the greatest threat to their futures is – corruption.
Corruption is now front and centre in the minds of youth in the rest of the continent. They believe that corruption in their countries is robbing them of their birth right; the single greatest hurdle they face to achieve their own potential and achieve the better life that was denied their parents and their grandparents. Most of all, they don’t believe their governments are doing enough to address this scourge.
The 2024 edition of the African Youth Survey is the third edition of the unique biennial survey of African youths aged between 18 and 24. For this edition, 5,604 youths were interviewed in 16 countries. Since its inception in 2020, researchers have gauged the sentiments of more than 14,000 respondents across Africa, collectively representing 84% of the continent - on a variety of a different issues from their hopes and aspirations to their most pressing concerns.
