Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the nexus between youth unemployment
and political instability in Côte d’Ivoire. To achieve this objective, we used a regional
approach to investigate the relationship between political instability and youth
unemployment in Côte d’Ivoire and we developed a method for calculating the
political instability indicator. Analytical, descriptive and econometric methods were
used to analyse data from surveys conducted in relation to household living standards
levels and surveys on employment. The results indicate that, by considering only
persons aged from 15 to 24 years as young people, one might underestimate youth
unemployment and the impact of policies aimed at combating youth unemployment.
The statistics also revealed a very high level of youth unemployment. The econometric
estimation results equally showed a positive and significant relationship between
youth unemployment and political instability
