Climate shocks and youth labour
- Gender-disaggregated evidence from sub-Saharan Africa -
Although climate change is a global challenge, it does not affect all people equally. This research project uses a novel dataset spanning six sub-Saharan African countries and combining nationally representative socio-economic survey data with daily rainfall and temperature information. Using regression analysis, we show that when rural areas are exposed to extreme heat, precipitation or droughts, young people adjust their engagement in productive labour in different ways than older adults. We also uncover important differences between young women and men. Importantly, weather shocks push young women out of employment or into labour in the agricultural sector. These findings reflect a variety of factors that make young women more vulnerable to climate change.
