today14 March, 2024

Background

Activist Rosa Namises comments on the situation where, according to the Namibia Statistics Agency’s initial findings, over 71.1% of the population under 35 years of age, out of the total population exceeding 3 million, are predominantly unemployed. This alarming rate of youth unemployment contributes to a greater reliance on their parents’ Old Age Pension, currently set at N$1600 per month.
