Ramifications of Sectors Economic Upsurge on rate of early aged Unemployment in case of East African Countries

The issue of economic intensification is a requirement of expanding economic triggers in various sectors, whereas adolescence unemployment is a significant economic and human capital crisis that has been exacerbated by frequent economic crises. Panel data from 2007 to 2016 were used to investigate the effects of economic intensification on youth unemployment in East African countries. The Random Effect model was used for the analysis. The study's findings confirm that foreign direct investment, vulnerability to employment, internet access, and export volume all have a negative impact on early aged unemployment at a 10% level of significance. Other variables such as agriculture value addition, manufacturing value addition, dependency ratio, and education all had a positive impact on youth unemployment in East African countries. Based on the findings, policymakers should focus on strategies that can increase investments in agriculture, industry, and services, which can increase the economic sector's labor absorptive capacity.
