This book critically examines the extent and consequences of the marginalization of African youth. It questions conventional wisdoms about data trends, aspirational goals, and common policy interventions surrounding Africa's youth that have been variously propagated in both the development studies literature and in mainstream donor policy reports. It adopts a cross-regional perspective to highlight in what ways African youth vary from their counterparts in other regions of the developing world and what exactly is different for African youth today than in the past.
