Tech’s Promise—and Limits A Glimmer of Hope: Since 2014, startups like Andela have trained Africans for global tech roles, boosting incomes from $115 to $1,350/month for some. Nigeria’s 3 Million Technical Talent Program followed suit.

Systemic Failures: With just 1,274 colleges for 1.3 billion people (vs. 4,000 for 350 million in the US), access is limited. Classes are overcrowded (1 lecturer per 64 students), and education gets <5% of budgets.

A Stark Example: In Nigeria, 11 million are unemployed, and 33% are underemployed (2025 data). A 2014 job test for 4,000 roles drew 125,000 applicants, triggering a deadly stampede.
