撒哈拉以南非洲城镇的青年就业危机是该区域最优先的发展事项之一。青年的高失业率和低就业率严重阻碍青年自力更生的能力，而自力更生是向成年过渡的关键第一步。必须探讨地方和全球结构和进程如何造成不利于城市青年谋生的经济和社会环境。只有这样，我们才能确定城市贫困对青年机构造成无法克服的限制的方式。我们必须了解城市青年在寻求体面工作和安全生计方面面临的众多障碍，这些障碍因性别和教育状况而有何不同，以及这对他们长期社会和经济发展的影响。本文试图在坦桑尼亚阿鲁沙的背景下进行这样的探索。
The youth employment crisis in sub-Saharan Africa's towns and cities is among the region's top development priorities. High rates of youth under- and unemployment create significant obstacles to young people's ability to become self-reliant, a crucial first step in the transition to adulthood. It is important to explore how local and global structures and processes create the hostile economic and social environment in which urban youth search for livelihoods. Only then can we identify the ways in which urban poverty brings insurmountable constraints on youth agency. We must understand the multitude of obstacles facing urban youth in their quest for decent work and secure livelihoods, how these differ by gender and educational status, and the implications of this for their longer-term social and economic development. This paper attempts such an exploration in the context of Arusha, Tanzania.
