New #YouthDay publication! Unemployment rates among youth everywhere are higher than adults. In #Kenya, where there are 17.5 million people between the ages of 15 and 34, youth are nearly twice as likely to be unemployed. In 2017, RTI conducted a mixed-methods study, interviewing 3,000 youth migrants- 1,350 of them from predominantly agricultural areas in Western Kenya. The study explored migration patterns, the number and profile of migrants planning to return to their villages, and implications for the agricultural workforce http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vM45w #youth #IYD2019 #SDG4 #migration #research #agriculture #foodsecurity #Kenya

New research finds that over the next 30 years, #climatechange and increasing CO2 could significantly reduce the availability of critical nutrients in our food, compared to a world free of their impact. These total impacts of climate shocks and elevated levels of carbon in the air are estimated to reduce growth in global per capita nutrient availability of protein, iron and zinc by 19.5, 14.4 and 14.6 percent, respectively. Robert Beach, PhD, a senior economist and fellow at RTI, was the lead author of the study. Read it here: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMeFt
