“What has evolved instead...are ‘informal spaces’ and a ‘makeshift economy’ in which people hustle a living in the absence of formal jobs. The gap between the education and ambitions of millions of young people...has fostered generational frustration and, in some cases, political movements that are challenging failing authorities.” ?? A thought-provoking new article on African youth and cities from the Financial Times. ?? By 2030, 47% of Africans will live in cities. But urban growth isn’t translating to opportunity. Slums outpace infrastructure. Degrees don’t guarantee jobs. Protests erupt as youth demand accountability. ? In the face of these challenges, youth are providing optimism and energy in cities across Africa. These cities, in turn, need to provide them with productive avenues to contribute to the economy.

"????????????-?????????????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????????????????? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ???????????????????? ????????????." A new post from The World Bank Economist Tristan Reed highlights how effective two-way communication between governments and firms is essential to developing new industries and creating jobs. Through this public-private dialogue: ? Firms reveal constraints ? Governments shape policy ? A feedback loop enables adjustment and improvement Lessons from across countries, including Cambodia, Peru, and Tunisia show that specific practices–small trusted groups, dedicated technical staff, and regular meetings–make this collaborative process effective.

???? The Importance of Growth for a Human Well-Being ???? "Is most of the world at a state where growth has ceased to be important for achieving human well-being? The answer is no, nowhere near" Our advisor Lant Pritchett recently did a thought-provoking interview with VoxDev, where he emphasized how powerful growth can be for increasing human well-being in low- and middle-income countries. He also highlighted inclusive economic growth and state capability as the most critical issues in development to study and work on in the coming decades. We at Growth Teams are proud to be working at the intersection of these two critical topics. If you're passionate about promoting development, this is a must-listen! ??? Link in the comments.
