dc.description.abstract | Issues surrounding youth employment and unemployment are central to the next development decade. Understanding how youth use mobile phones as a means of communicating and exchanging information about employment and livelihoods is particularly important given the
prominence of mobile phone use in young lives. This paper explores and reflects on youth phone
usage in Ghana, Malawi and South Africa, drawing on mixed-methods research with young
people aged approximately 9–25 years, in 12 (high density) urban and peri-urban sites. Comparative
work across these sites offers evidence of both positive and negative impacts. The final section of
the paper considers policy implications. | |
