Expert Lament Intense Relocation of African Youth to America
Citizens from the continent of Africa have recently lamented bitterly about the massive relocation of youth for greener pasture and life settlement, following the shaky economy of their countries.
Speaking from Nairobi, Kenya, a business mogul, Brian Muloni, has explained that Africa’s unstable economy is setting a fresh channel for massive migration of African youth to the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America, Germany and Europe for well-paying jobs and life assurance.
Mr Brian explained that the economy across the said countries cannot reduce the rising needs of job hunting and added that the continent’s educated youths now migrate to the foreign lands for survival.
He further disclosed that America is an emerging destination of choice for many of the young Africans.
“Economy across the continent simply cannot absorb the wave of young jobseekers. Formal employment remains scarce. The informal sector absorbs many, but it offers minimal security and advancement. Africa’s weak economy is pushing many youths to America and other Western countries.”
Many Africans today possess tech-related skills and are the best in medical sectors, which companies and hospitals in other continents are actively seeking.
The assurance of positive livelihood now serves as a critical disadvantage in demoting the African continent.
The finance expert has called on the leaders to take necessary measures to restore the glorious economy of Africa, stressing that a stronger economic base is a key to ending the alarming rate of youth migration to America and Europe.
