Youth and the Rural Economy in Africa

Bag om Youth and the Rural Economy in Africa

This book unites recent findings from quantitative and qualitative research from across Africa to illuminate how young men and women engage with the rural economy and imagine their futures, and how development policies and interventions can find traction with these realities. Through framing, overview, and evidence-based chapters, this book provides a critical perspective on current discourse, research and development interventions around youth and rural development. Chapters are organized around commonly-made foundational claims: that large numbers of young people are leaving rural areas, have no interest in agriculture, cannot access land, can be the engine of rural transformation, are stuck in permanent waithood, and that the rural economy can provide a wealth of opportunity. This book: - Engages with and challenges currentresearch, policy and development debates- Considers social difference as away of examining the category of youth.- Is written by authors from avariety of disciplinary backgrounds, providing varied perspectives.Drawing on existing literature and new analysis of several multi-country and multi-disciplinary studies, this book focuses ongender and other aspects of social difference. It is suitable for researchers, policy makers and advocates, as well as postgraduate students in internationaldevelopment and agricultural economics.
