Key Takeaways
Cameroon’s unemployment rate declined significantly from 8.1% in 1996 to 3.1% in 2007, primarily due to structural reforms aimed at economic stability and job creation. However, fluctuations, with a rise to 6.1% by 2021, illustrate challenges in sustainable job creation amidst population growth. Economic volatility, influenced by regional instability and limited industrial development, continues to impact employment prospects, with the need for more diversified job opportunities being a pressing issue.
