This set of briefs is based on the mixed methods research that identified factors that challenge and enable young adults’ inclusion in the world of work in Niger, through a gender-streamlined analysis of different poverty trajectories of livelihoods and how these are affected by training, education and migration. Each brief focuses on one of the key themes of the research findings: education and training, migration, and entrepreneurship. It collectively draws attention to key areas that require policy action in order to improve youth inclusion in labour markets in ways that can facilitate their pathways out of poverty.
