Reading through the responses, I was very sad about the state of young people desperately looking for work
First, there is a popular saying that the best time to prepare for tomorrow is today. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Sustainable investment in the development of our young people is urgently needed.
Secondly, as we go into a world where the future of work is automated, it is very important that the next generation possess the capacity to compete for the new set of skills sets that will be needed.
Finally, it is a fact that Africa will have the highest percentage of under 20s in the next few years. The western world’s median age is 35, Africa’s is 18 today. This has been the subject of Bill Gate’s video. Investing in this group will provide fuel for Africa’s prosperity tomorrow.

They were not just looking for work rather the attraction was the rate/salary. The rate made the job attractive.
I think that the poster’s intent was to beautify something that is being overlooked and see the reaction.
Well done Innovateafrica for the work you do.
