Abstract
Persons with disabilities (PWDs) have been noted to be marginalized and socially deprived as a result of unemployment. Opportunities to emerge from poverty are limited, due to lack of enabling legislation to promote skills development and employment opportunities, where such legislation is in place, there are weak implementation and enforcement measures. This study focuses on unemployment of PWDs in Africa. It undertakes a broad review of existing studies and policy frameworks on African youths and identifies the gaps, challenges and opportunities for harnessing their potentials. Therefore, the justification for this research is consistent with the need to source, analyze, discuss findings and proffer suggestions that policy-makers can use as a guideline to enforce already documented policies.
