A recent revelation from the World Bank at its flagship event, Jobs – The Path to Prosperity, held during the ongoing IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, paints a bleak picture for Nigeria and its peers: an estimated 1.2 billion young people are expected to enter the global workforce over the next decade, yet only 420 million jobs are likely to be created. This leaves a staggering shortfall—only 35 percent of these individuals will find employment, while the rest may turn to entrepreneurship, which rarely leads them out of poverty.
