The huge gap between the supply of qualified youth and the market requirements is one of the key reasons behind rising unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, experts at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) noted on Tuesday.
At 24 per cent, youth unemployment is the biggest challenge facing the region, with around 100 million jobs required to be created in the next few years and experts feel there is no quick fix to it.
Belaid Rettab, Economic Researcher and expert in the Sustainable Business Development Sector at Dubai Chamber, who was one of the panellists who discussed the issue of unemployment and possible solutions, said that a complete revision of education sector is the key.
