Escaping Ethiopia’s unemployment
Despite a growing economy, many of Ethiopia’s young people are unemployed and seeking jobs abroad.
Published On 12 Jul 2013
Ethiopia has one of the world’s fastest growing economies, but half of the country’s young workers are out of a job.

Others choose the legal path and apply for work in Gulf countries.
