Opportunities for Job Booster social enterprise in Benin
Among other things, it became clear that Benin is developing quickly and that there is much attention to (youth) employment from the Government, private sector as well as civil society and international cooperation.
A representative of the Ministry of Employment and SMEs shed light on the new national employment policy that sets out out the vision and policies aiming for fuller employment.
Although the official unemployment rate is low, underemployment is estimated at 76%. Coupled with a young population and many new entrants to the job market each year, clearly there is a need for a concerted effort to roll this back.
Commitment to job opportunities and entrepreneurship
Job Booster Enterprises aims to make its contribution by providing quality entrepreneurship support and job placement services and become a role model for employment agencies that target the poor.
