Global youth employment is a critical issue, with un.org reporting 75 million young people unemployed in 2021 and 600 million new jobs needed over 15 years. World Youth Skills Day is observed on July 15th. In this podcast, we hear from Alice Tipap, a Maasai woman from Tanzania, who discusses youth in her region.

This episode features Alice Tipap (Maasai). Music includes "Whispers" by Ziibiwan and "Burn your village to the ground" by The Halluci Nation, used with permission.
