Respondents to enterprise surveys in Africa tend not to rate lack of education of the labourforce as one of the top constraints. The African Development Bank (2012) used Gallop Poll Surveys conducted in 10 North African countries (African Development Bank 2012), finding that factors relating to insufficient labour demand (lack of jobs; insufficient government efforts; weak economy; jobs being given to people with connections; and corruption) together account for about two-thirds of the reasons provided. Secondary and tertiary education improves the chances of having wage employment, but even for workers with university education, underemployment and unemployment is the
norm. The African Development Bank (2012) reports that only 30 per cent of young people with
some tertiary education hold wage employment, while another 30 per cent are in ‘vulnerable
employment’, and the remaining 40 per cent are unemployed, inactive or discouraged. Open
unemployment actually rises with education, as previously noted.
