This study assesses jobs outcomes in the
towns of South Sudan, based on a 2017 household survey and a
dedicated 2019 youth jobs survey. It discusses how years of
conflict have touched nearly all livelihoods, leaving few
productive jobs, and causing high poverty. Most urban
households diversify their job activities little, and rely
on household work in agriculture, commerce or personal
services, or they depend on a household member’s work for
NGOs or as a public servant. Many young workers say they are
ready to build from the less than attractive job activities
available. Workers point to a lack of funding, insecurity,
and low demand as the main obstacles to doing better. The
study is one of a set of four reports assessing different
aspects of jobs in urban South Sudan in order to formulate
policy for recovery. |
