In which category do you fall when it comes to employment?

BACKGROUND

According to an article in the New Vision in February 2013, an employment survey of 11 districts across the country revealed that 62% of Uganda’s youth are unemployed. Other studies bring this figure up to as high as 83% (Wikipedia).

Youth unemployment in Uganda is causing a serious political, economic and social challenge to progress in Uganda.

Only 3.2% of young people have jobs that give them a salary and only 6% of Ugandan youth are self-employed and running their own business. 91% of Ugandans are employed in the informal sector-these are jobs on which taxes are not collected, like market sellers or small scale enterprenuers.
