Youth with fonnal education level had low probabilities of being employed and their Unemployment rates is at 18% compared to 13.3% who had completed some stage of Education. Various measures have been taken by the government to alleviate the problem of youth Unemployment, 175.57 billion shillings was provided to MGLSD to support 120 youth projects in the country [Budget frame work paper F/Y 2018-2019].
