Youth In Africa: Between Marginalisation And Demographic Dividend, Steve Kayizzi-Mugerwa
Southern African Journal of Policy and Development

The lack of social and economic opportunities generates unease about youths’ future and anger and loathing towards society and government, heightening the risk of uprisings as witnessed during the Arab Spring.
