North Africa and Arab youth unemployment highest
The article addresses the youth unemployment crisis in North Africa and Arab countries, where the highest global rates of youth unemployment are recorded. According to the 2026 International Labour Organization report, youth unemployment rates in the region reached 22.6% in 2025, with a significant proportion of young people not engaged in work, education, or training—up to 30.1% in North Africa and 32.4% in Arab countries. Data highlights that the challenge is not only about the availability of opportunities but also the limited capacity of economies to provide stable, quality jobs. Large gender gaps in access to the labor market are also evident. The study further reveals that the rising numbers of inactive youth deepen the economic and social integration crisis. Technological transformations, especially artificial intelligence, threaten certain jobs, emphasizing the need for policies to redirect the labor market and improve the quality of education and training. It is also crucial to consider gender disparities in order to build economies capable of absorbing the youth generation and turning challenges into development opportunities.
