I. Background

As in most African countries, Zambia’s population is young; 80% of Zambians are under 35 years of age.

Job creation, especially in the formal sector, has not kept up with the demands of the growing young

population. Most employment (over 75%) is in the informal sector characterised by low, erratic incomes

and lack of social security. While the overall unemployment rate is 8.2 %, the majority of the

unemployed – some 84% -- are young people.

There is no denying the high rates of youth unemployment and underemployment in Zambia. However,

is it also true that young people recognise and are able to take advantage of the opportunities for

employment that do present themselves? We need to better understand what holds young Zambians

back from engaging in productive and decent employment. Questions about what can be done to insert

young Zambians into the working economy more effectively confront government and development

actors alike.

To tackle these questions and to explore the kinds of evidence needed to find lasting solutions, the

Zambia Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (ZIPAR) in partnership with Canada’s International

Development Research Centre (IDRC) held a two day youth consultative workshop in Lusaka on

September 28 and 29, 2015. The theme of the workshop was “Exploring Youth Preparedness in

Benefiting from Employment and Empowerment Opportunities in Zambia”. The workshop was part of a

series of three such events supported by IDRC and the MasterCard Foundation as part of a wide-ranging

initiative to deliberate on the role of research in supporting efforts to unlock the potential of Africa’s

youth. The other two workshops were held in Kigali, Rwanda and Lusaka, Zambia.

A key objective of the

workshop was to deepen

dialogue both among relevant

stakeholders and with Zambian

young people themselves to

discuss and examine youth

employment issues. An

additional aim of the workshop

was to provide a forum for

policy makers, development

practitioners, private-sector

representatives, researchers,

and young people to reflect

together on the role of

research in supporting efforts

to unlock the potential of

young people.

workshop participants.


The youth forum on the first day of the workshop attracted a total of 30 participants including young

people in business, in education and those transitioning from school to work from across the country.

Participants used the platform to describe their experiences, identify their priorities, examine the

challenges they face, and the opportunities they envisage. On the second day, in which many of the

young people also participated, multiple stakeholders including policy makers, researchers, civil society

organisations (CSOs) and programme implementers were invited to present their points of view. Deputy

Minister of Youth and Sport Donald Chitotela spoke on behalf of the government and actively engaged

in conversations with the young people present.

II. Workshop Findings: Young people’s experiences in entrepreneurship

and employment

Whether young people are successful in their search for employment depends on their being able to

surmount a number of hurdles. Three youths were given an opportunity to share their personal

experiences during the workshop as the basis for discussing the challenges and opportunities young

Zambian’s face in pursuit of gainful employment. These provided an anchor for discussing: (i) the

engagement (or lack thereof) of youth in agriculture; (ii) what it takes for young people to success in

business; and (iii) young people’s experiences transitioning into paid employment.

Is agriculture a source of viable livelihood for youth?

The majority of young people in rural Zambia are engaged

in agriculture, as this is often the only source of livelihood

options available. A large majority work as unpaid

farmhands. Improving the livelihoods of young rural

Zambians through skills upgrading for higher value

agriculture and agro-business, as well as providing

opportunities for off-farm employment opportunities

remains an important challenge.

Agriculture in Zambia has a bad name among young people,

who tend to see it as a sector reserved for aged and rural

populations. The workshop nonetheless heard from a

young urban woman who went against the grain, from an

urban to a rural environment. Driven by unemployment,

Lubi Simamba went into agriculture on her mother’s 5 acre

plot.

Lubi’s story is not common. She told the workshop that

learning from others – through the internet or by

conversations with experienced people – was the key to her success. However, participants pointed

that agriculture still has an “image” issue among young people and this has to change if their skills and

enthusiasm are to be harnessed to transform and modernise the sector. There is a role for government

in providing incentives for young people to enter agriculture, as well as information about agriculture-

related activities that can be attractive as careers for young people.

Young people highlighted a number of challenges to engaging in agriculture. The first and main barrier is

that of a mindset and expectations. As noted, young people – especially those with education – simply

do not aspire to remain in the agriculture sector nor are they encouraged to do so by society that

prepares them for elusive white-collar jobs. Another limitation is a shortage of available, transferable

land outside of customary ownership. Lack of markets is yet another problem the youth identified; while

local markets do not offer sufficient profit margins, urban supermarkets set their standards too high for

most small, local producers.

Can young people succeed in business?

The determinants of success or failure in business were a preoccupation of the workshop’s participants,

given that 3 out of 4 young Zambians are self-employed. Failure to find paid employment can lead to the

search for a career in enterprise, but for most it is the informal sector that awaits, with stagnant growth

and meagre incomes.

Mawano Kambeu presented a salutary case of a

successful youth business. A founder of Dot.Com

Zambia, Kambeu took advantage of the 21st century IT

revolution. His company provides on-line shopping

services from Zambian and international retailers. The

company also provides a bus-ticketing service that

allows commuters to buy bus tickets on-line. Dot.Com

Zambia is able to access international credit that is the

envy of many. A small business that started out of

Kambeu’s kitchen, today Dot Com Zambia is one of

Africa’s fastest growing e-commence companies.

Mawano’s success however did not come easy. He

credits his success to hard work and determination.

Workshop participants highlighted a number of factors

that hold young people back from engaging or

succeeding in business:

• Lack of capital to finance or refinance business: young

people lack many of the requirements of banks or other

formal lending institutions. Such requirements include

sufficient collateral, a minimum level of financial literacy, transparent financial records, business

plans and a demonstrated knowledge of how to run a business. The workshop highlighted that

the government’s Youth Empowerment Fund is too limited to reach many youths. There is also

lack of awareness of the existence of the program among youth.

Mwano Kambeu challenging young people to rise to

their potential.


• High bureaucracy and regulations in setting up a business: red tape discourages young people

from setting up in the formal sector and the cost of administrative procedures is seen as a

serious barrier to doing business.

• Risk Averse/Uncertainty: many young people are sceptical about investing all their energy and

time in a business. They would rather look for a job where they are assured of secure and stable

incomes, and hence see their business as a survival tool until paid employment becomes

available.

• Lack of skills and mentorship: Many young people feel that the educational system prepares

them only for white-collar jobs, rather than setting up on their own. If they do venture out on

their own, there is little in the way of guidance from their elders or mentors. Participants

suggested that business mentorship be part of youth empowerment programmes.

• Low literacy levels: low levels of literacy and numeracy skills among many youths make it

difficult for them to access certain services, such as financial services, that are critical to their

success as entrepreneurs. Low levels of literacy also mean young people cannot easily assimilate

information, an aspect important for any business. The low literacy levels can partly be

attributed to the quality of education which has been declining in Zambia at the same time as

enrolment increases.

Although self-employment is the only source of livelihood option that awaits many of Zambia’s

burgeoning youth population, they still face a number of challenges that hold them back. Mawano’s

story offers a glimmer of hope that it is possible to overcome the challenges and run a successful

business. However, government interventions that help tackle the challenges could pave the way to

success and unlock the potential of young Zambians to run vibrant businesses and contribute to societal

wellbeing.

Can young graduates find paid employment in Zambia?

At independence, there were only 100 college and university

graduates and a very high demand for skilled manpower. The

picture did not change in the years that followed: every

graduate was guaranteed of finding employment once they

finished their studies in nearly every field of study. The

economy was also booming and new industries were being

set up which created a lot of space for people leaving training

institutions.

The picture is completely different 51 years later. The

population has almost doubled, there are more learning

institutions now producing thousands of graduates each

year. The supply of labour has grown exponentially, but

demand has dropped significantly as the economy has

finding a job after graduating from a university.


shrunk. Job opportunities have become more and more rare. Young people transitioning out of learning

institutions into work have little hope of ever finding stable, secure employment in the formal sector.

There is an increase in the demand for skills training and other higher education provision. Skills are in

short supply in, for example, construction, mining and tourism and will continue to be inadequate in the

years to come. The changing structure of the economy has also led to the delinking of industry from the

learning institutions resulting in a mismatch between the training curriculum and industry needs. Even

those that have received training may not have been qualified for the required fields.

Nelson Nayunda – a recent graduate – discussed some of the challenges in transitioning from school to

work. His experience is that there are simply not enough jobs for young graduates. The response of the

government, which is to encourage more entrepreneurship, may not be what young people want. It may

be more appropriate to create the conditions for more and better paid employment.

When asked about the challenges and barriers they face when looking for employment, young

participants stressed the following:

• Lack of work experience: young people indicated that one of the major barriers to finding jobs

in Zambia is that employers usually ask for many years of experience which, by definition, the

youth lacks. This problem is compounded by the lack of mentorship, internship and

apprenticeship programmes.

• Lack of information about available jobs and where they are: Zambia does not have a labour-

market information system, so information about jobs and where to find them is usually difficult

to find. Adverts in the newspapers do not reach youths who cannot afford to buy a daily

newspaper to look for jobs.

Young people reflecting on their experiences transitioning from school to work.


• Biased geographical distribution of job opportunities: Economic activity in Zambia tends to be

concentrated in towns around the Copperbelt and in Lusaka. Young people away from these

areas have few job prospects.

• Nepotism and corruption: Young people claim that nepotism and corruption tend to be the

main factors in acquiring a job, rather than qualifications and competencies. This tends to

frustrate youths as some jobs are already filled by the time they appear in the newspaper.

• Skills mismatch: The lack of appropriate skills is a major problem. Few young people receive

training adapted to industry needs and the education system does not prepare youths

adequately to market themselves. The skills-mismatch issue was even recognised by Minister

Chitotela. There is a serious shortage of artisanal skills because most learning institutions have

concentrated on offering white-collar courses. This means that for many years to come demand

for technical skills will continue to be unmet. This will exacerbate the problem of youth

unemployment.

III. Workshop Findings: Opportunities for Youth

The workshop provided a space for young people to dialogue with the other stakeholders, share their

experiences, and challenge untested assumptions. The discussion turned more towards

entrepreneurship than employment, which may indicate a gradual decrease in dependency on

employers and more of an individualistic approach to a career. It may also be simply recognition of the

reality of the situation. Among the emerging opportunities identified by young participants are the

following:

Young people reflecting on their experiences transitioning from school to work.


1. Information technology: advances in this field may present opportunities for young

entrepreneurs in a number of ways, but exploitation of openings is hampered by poor coverage

and low-quality equipment.

2. Diversification: Moves to diversify the economy away from maize cultivation and copper mining

could offer opportunities for youth. Specifically, manufacturing and commodity trading could

present openings for entrepreneurship.

3. Recycling activities: With urbanisation comes the problem of waste disposal. Youths identified

opportunities to establish businesses to work with municipalities to collect waste and engage in

recycling activities.

4. Agriculture sector: Over 80% of the farmers in Zambia are in maize production which is mostly

rain fed. Participants thought alternative crops could be grown under irrigation schemes. There

is demand for a variety of food products in neighbouring countries like the DRC and Angola and

a recent trade agreement with the DRC should open up opportunities for youths to produce for

this market. Other areas of opportunity related to agriculture include agro processing of various

products such as peanuts, soy beans and honey.

5. Small-scale mining: Zambia is a mineral-rich country with deposits of copper, zinc, emeralds and

many others. Opportunities for young people exist in mining and marketing gemstones, as well

as the provision of services such as repair and servicing of equipment and transport for the

sector.

6. Renewable Energy: Some 97% of Zambia’s energy comes from hydropower, which makes the

energy sector vulnerable to the effects of climate changes as the rains become more and more

unpredictable. This crisis has led to increased use of alternative energy sources, such as solar

power and generators, and in the use of energy-efficient appliances. The energy crisis could

provide young people with business opportunities in manufacturing or trading of alternative-

energy products.

Government concern over youth issues manifests itself in programmes and policies centred on youth

welfare. Some of these were raised by the Minister of Youth and Sport, among others at the workshop.

While young people may think they have a right to public aid and support, they also have a responsibility

to seek out whatever help might be available. The Youth Development Fund, the Citizen Economic

Empowerment Fund, the Women’s Empowerment Fund and, most recently, the Fisheries Development

Fund are examples of such government initiatives. The government has set aside a substantial part of

the results of its USD 1.25 billion Eurobond issue for support to youth and empowerment programmes.

However, it is currently unclear as to who has access to these funds, who has benefited from them and

what has been the impact on their livelihoods.

At the same time, it is clear that existing programmes could benefit from proper evaluation and

monitoring. The Youth Empowerment Fund for example has been in existence for over four years, yet its


impact on youth employment and empowerment was unknown. In an effort to correct this, the

Ministry of Finance has asked one of the organisers of the workshop – ZIPAR – to undertake an

evaluation of the Fund’s effectiveness and its impact on the livelihoods of young people. Meanwhile, the

government has set aside funds that will sponsor innovative youth projects and businesses under its

new youth policy and empowerment strategy.

Policy makers and programme implementers participating in the workshop joined the youth participants

in acknowledging that Zambia continues to experience a skills mismatch. Very few youths in Zambia

have acquired artisan skills recently as most courses are highly concentrated in business studies. Indeed,

Zambia has seen a number of tertiary institutions transformed into business schools. In this regard

stakeholders felt the need to innovate in terms of effective internship and learning opportunities for

youth to help them to integrate into the labour market and end the skills mismatch.

IV. The role of research evidence

One of the objectives of the workshop was to identify ways in which evidence-based research could

contribute to helping young people to insert themselves into the economy. The discussions pointed to a

number of knowledge gaps for research to fill in the Zambian context.

Zambia lacks a proper data base of youth and other population sub-groups. This makes sub-group level

analyses very challenging and hinders understanding the characteristics of such sub-groups. Analysis of

information concerning young people can, for example, be used to produce projections that can feed

into government policy and enhance their effectiveness. The regular collection and analysis of socio-

economic data is, therefore, imperative for good policy formulation and improved outcomes.

Perhaps reflective of the lack of quality data feeding into policy is the establishment of policies and

programmes that may or may not be relevant to real needs and expectations. It was reported several

times during the workshop that there is little or no evaluation of impact and outcomes resulting from

existing targeted programmes, but they continue to be implemented anyway. Monitoring and

evaluation by independent, qualified researchers is indispensable for rational, long-term policy

implementation.

Training and educational institutions continue to turn out graduates, but little is known about what

becomes of them. It is, therefore, impossible to measure the effectiveness of the courses offered in

terms of suitability for the jobs market. Without such information, public and private influencers can

play only a minimal role in shaping vocational education to the needs of the labour market. There was a

call at the workshop for tracer studies of graduates’ labour-market performance post-graduation from

training institutions.

At the other end of the equation, not enough is known about the needs and potential for employment

of individual economic sectors. This is important, for, by targeting those sectors with the most potential


to provide employment for future generations of Zambians, both public and private investors can

increase their impact on the youth unemployment problem. Hence, sector diagnostics and sector

analyses are necessary to see the extent and depth of employment potential across the economy.

There is a need for a better understanding of the political economy of employment in Zambia to

identify more clearly the role of government, private initiative, the financial system and culture in job

creation, particularly where young people are concerned. Within these areas, it is important to break

down the constituent parts to see where the most influence and responsibility lie. Where culture is

concerned, there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that Zambians make poor employees. This needs to

be empirically tested and, if found to be true, an examination of its causes undertaken.

V. Conclusion

This report has highlighted key elements of the discussions that took place during the ZIPAR/IDRC

consultative workshop in Lusaka. It does not aim to be a verbatim transcript and it is altogether possible

that some points may, in the minds of some, have been given too little prominence, while, in the minds

of others they have received too much. Such issues will always come down to matters of interpretation.

On the whole, however, the organisers hope that this is a true reflection of the discussions that took

place.

The aim of the report is to bring to light, in a coherent manner all the issues that were discussed among

the youth on the first day, and between the youths and policy makers, youth programme implementers

and other senior government officials on the second. The research issues that end the report indicate

the knowledge gaps that need to be filled in order to accelerate finding solutions to the problem of

youth unemployment and underemployment in Zambia. This was one of the primary motivations for the

workshop and the on-going work with which it is associated.

In summary the report has been able to highlight the following issues from the workshop:

• Youth unemployment in Zambia is high and needs practical approaches to be addressed.

• Agriculture can provide wide opportunities for young people, provided it can be made attractive

for them to enter, especially for educated youth who have the potential to transform the sector.

• For young people to succeed in business they need access to relevant skills and to adequate

finance.

• There is need for apprenticeship and internship programmes that ensure youths are linked to

industry before they finish training.


• Young people need to seek out information and help, but government needs to do more to raise

awareness of supportive programmes.

• Programmes aimed at young people should encourage them to be innovative and forward-

looking.

• Researchers need to think differently about the types of research they conduct and should

engage young people directly in research that concerns them.
