Cameroon Employs 1.25% Of Unemployed Youth

The government of Paul Biya recently announced that it would employ 25,000 Cameroonian youth under the age of forty into the civil service. Many have seen this move as a political ploy since the presidential election takes place in Novemenber and Paul Biya plans to remain president. However, a Cameroonian economist at the University of Buea in Cameroon has recently said that such employment amounts to hiring only 1.25% of the 2 million unemployed youth in the country.
