Separately, Nyasa Times reports that the World Bank’s latest Malawi Economic Monitor estimates about 270,000 young people enter Malawi’s labour market each year, while the economy creates only about 40,000 formal jobs. The World Bank says weak learning outcomes and skills mismatches are part of the constraint, with many learners leaving school without skills demanded by employers, which contributes to unemployment and underemployment among school leavers and graduates.
