Dar es Salaam. For Africa’s young people, having a job is increasingly seen as more than a means of earning a living, it is becoming a critical part of staying safe, maintaining stability and securing the future of their communities.
The African Youth Survey 2026 shows that 56 percent of young Africans believe governments should prioritise creating jobs for young people to improve security, placing employment ahead of military investment and anti-corruption measures.
The survey found that 54 percent identified unemployment and poverty as the biggest threats to safety in their local communities, ahead of drugs and alcohol abuse, corruption in security services, violent crime and domestic violence.
