YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe African Union estimates that about 70,000 skilled professionals emigrate from the continent each year. Africa, the world’s most youthful continent, has an estimated 10 to 12 million young people joining the labor force every year.
But the continent is only able to create about 3 million jobs annually. So what happens to the rest?
Many young Africans are moving to Europe and America for economic opportunities. On the other hand many European countries, like Germany, are welcoming this talent to meet their own shortages. It's estimated that the German labor market needs to grow by 400,000 workers per year. So to fill the gap, the government is reforming its immigration laws to attract foreign professionals, with the introduction of a "Blue-card."
