Africa Jobs Clock

The Clock is a user-friendly, publicly available digital tool which can be accessed at

www.africayouthjobs.io Country-level youth employment data is available for all 54 African states, while sub-national data is currently available for Kenya and Rwanda. Over time access to sub- national data will expand to include Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Senegal, and Ethiopia, countries where the Mastercard Foundation supports country-based programs. The Clock’s data analytical model draws from surveys and datasets made available by national statistics offices and international sources. WDL’s methodology is peer-reviewed, and enables consistent comparable data across countries.

Modeling Financial Inclusion for Women

While progress has been made in recent years concerning the financial inclusion of women, they continue to lag behind males in the uptake and usage of financial services. As a result, more complete and timely sex-disaggregated data is needed.

Data2X: Women’s Financial Inclusion Data Partnership

In partnership with ConsumerCentriX in Geneva and Andafin in Hong Kong, we are designing an econometric model to gauge the market opportunity for the middle class segments in Nigeria and Kenya to point out where financial inclusion activities are needed most. To do this, we estimate the effects of different parameters on financial inclusion and determine access gaps and the gap between male and female populations to forecast levels of financial inclusion segmented by gender.
