However, in reality, this figure, although commendable on a macroeconomic level, is largely insufficient to address Senegal&#8217;s most pressing challenge: youth employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>growth too weak to absorb the youth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to recent data from ANSD, Senegal&#8217;s active population stands at nearly 11.7 million people, with 4.9 million employed. The employment-growth elasticity, which measures the ability of growth to generate jobs, is estimated at 0.6. In other words, each percentage point of GDP growth translates into approximately 29,000 additional jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a projected growth of 5%, the Senegalese economy could create around 145,000 jobs. However, the labor market sees between 200,000 and 300,000 new entrants each year.<br>This dynamic leaves an annual deficit of 50,000 to 150,000 jobs, exacerbating unemployment and underemployment, especially among youth and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>well-known structural limits<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This imbalance has persisted for several years. Growth, although sustained, continues to be driven by sectors with low labor intensity: hydrocarbons, telecommunications, finance, and major public works. These sectors boost GDP but create few direct jobs.<br>Activities with high labor intensity &#8211; agriculture, agro-food processing, craftsmanship, local construction, and merchant services &#8211; still struggle to become central to the national economic strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Result: growth does not translate into decent jobs or a significant improvement in purchasing power. Senegal is experiencing jobless growth, a phenomenon typical of economies in slow structural transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Budget adjustment: a turn towards productivity<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this period of budget adjustment, it is essential to reduce state operating expenses &#8211; particularly administrative costs, non-productive benefits, and institutional duplications &#8211; in order to redirect resources towards public investment.<br>Basic infrastructure (roads, energy, digital, hydraulic), vocational training, health, and agricultural productivity must once again become budget priorities. Only then will public spending become a lever for employment rather than just a tool for routine management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>for pro-employment growth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senegal must aim for not only stronger growth (7 to 8% per year), but also more inclusive and labor-intensive growth.<br>This requires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An articulated industrial and agricultural strategy, based on local transformation and value chain creation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An active employment policy: incentives for hiring, support for SMEs, promotion of entrepreneurship, and gradual formalization of work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An exemplary budget governance, focused on productive investment and reduction of territorial inequalities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, we say that the 5% growth rate projected for 2026 will not be sufficient to stabilize unemployment or address demographic pressure.<br>Without a profound change in the composition of growth and budget management, the country risks continuing to grow without creating enough sustainable jobs.<br>Reducing the state&#8217;s standard of living, investing in productive sectors, and promoting inclusive growth are the real priorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Pr Amath Ndiaye, FASEG-UCAD.
