They often stand near heavy traffic hoping that potential employers will see them. For a country where young people account for over 30% of the population, this trend is genuinely worrying

Furthermore, when jobs in the Kenyan public sector are available, corruption is a problem with applicants at times bribing “gatekeepers” to gain employment, particularly in army recruitment. Corruption and unemployment result in gifted youth being deterred from pursuing higher education and training. Even those graduates who do secure a much-vaunted white-collar job, there is no job security as the harsh economic times of today are causing companies to implement budget cuts by sacking employees. A popular lament of young graduates is that even those jobs listed as being available require years of experience which they simply do not have.
