This is how we can get more young women into formal labour market
By 2028, young African women are set to drive a historic shift from agriculture to the services sector, unlocking billions for the continent’s economy.
By 2028, the Africa Youth Employment Outlook 2026 report projects that the services sector will replace agriculture as the primary employer of young African women.
This structural shift, according to the report, produced jointly by the World Data Lab, Mastercard Foundation and University of Cape Town, could see young women add nearly $172 billion (Sh22.1 trillion) to Africa’s economy.
