Kenya faces an acute youth bulge with 80 percent of the country's population aged 35 or younger, and 37 percent of between 15 and 35, according to the latest Census data.
An idle mind has always been a very effective workshop for the devil. That is why it is of great concern that almost 70 percent of Kenya's employment-age young men and women are not able to secure jobs mostly due to low educational attainment and the lack of appropriate labour market skills.
