Unemployed youth in MICs are more likely to be food insecure than unemployed youth in LICs. Many of the poorest young must work to support themselves and their families and cannot go without income while searching for better job opportunities or being idle. Working poverty and unemployment rates are strongly negatively correlated in Africa, suggesting that many young people prefer unemployment over working poverty and will chose unemployment in the hope of finding a better job when they can afford it. As countries grow richer low-skilled jobs disappear and the informal sector faces increasing demand constraints.
