[...] Measures to respond unemployment have to be taken rapidly. Some countries already implemented programs to allow students to acquire skills more adapted to the labour market. As we suggested above, education should work in cooperation with manufacture, industry and companies, to allow a better connection between skills acquired and labour market requirements. Another problem of this unemployment is the migration of youth from the rural countryside to the city. When they arrive in the city, they are likely to not find a job, due to their lack of experience. [...]

[...] Governments have to face this violence and fight it with strict laws ensuring women protection, at a faster way than what was done until now. Women are a real wealth and can fully participate to the economic growth and helping them would also help fighting the population growth, the lack of education, the spreading of diseases, the infant mortality . Investing in girls' education is actually one of the best strategies to lead to poverty suppression according numerous studies led by the World Bank document. Government have to realize it to improve women situation for real. [...]

[...] However, this phenomenon can happen under some specific conditions.

If the challenges of today are not solved, how will it turned with such a population growth? [...]

All the communities can help spreading right information about diseases, how to contract them and how to avoid it, especially religious communities. A campaign of information from the government to these religious communities can help spreading the message. Religion is extremely powerful in some African countries. All kind of help can and should be used. Then, about the cares themselves, governments also have a role to play. [...]

[...] It is also a big challenge in Africa. Including women in social, economic and political spheres is essential to create fairer societies. Despite the progress we observed these last decades about women empowerment, there is much more to achieve. Some countries are working hard to achieve a gender equality. Rwanda is part of them: in of parliamentarians were women. However, even if the number of female parliamentarians doubled in Africa these last 2 decades, we are far from the 30% of women among parliaments recommended. [...]
