Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni has indicated that his New Year\u2019s speech set to be delivered today before Ugandans ring in 2023 will be tailored to resonate with the youth \u201cwho don\u2019t like to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his penultimate national address on December 22, Mr Museveni stopped short of calling Ugandan youth lazy. Still, he chastised them for \u201cwasting time\u201d by among others \u201cplaying cards\u201d instead of making themselves useful.<\/p>\n

The President has also previously made reference to interest in foreign football as an underwhelming measure of the impact of Ugandan youth.<\/p>\n

Observers say beneath the chastisement is a delicately complex and understated admission to the growing problem of youth unemployment in the country. Data points from the Uganda National Labour Force Survey 2021, released by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (Ubos) in November, paint a particularly disturbing story. They also probably show why Mr Museveni will take the unusual step of dedicating his New Year\u2019s address to the youth.<\/p>\n

The survey, startling in its significance, and its candour, made no attempt to hide the fact that youth unemployment is a ticking clock. With 9.3 million Ugandans aged between 18 and 30 years not spared its visitations, the survey was unstinting in its declaration that youth unemployment remains a \u201cserious challenge\u201d to the country.<\/p>\n

It also drew attention to what Ugandan youth do to extricate themselves from the embrace of unemployment. About 6.2 million of them, aged between five and 17, to be specific, end up being subsumed by exploitative forms of labour.<\/p>\n

These include unpaid care work (40 percent), subsistence agriculture (21 percent), and other subsistence works (39 percent).<\/p>\n

Youth unemployment <\/b><\/p>\n

The survey also found that 11 percent of the youth contributed to the domestic migration problem. It defined this type of migration as \u201cmovement from one [district] to another and living there for six or more months at one time.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as the International Organisation for Migration noted in a study that reflected the Uganda situation as of December 2013, \u201cthere has been a considerable increase in residents and non-residents exiting [Uganda] over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than half of Uganda\u2019s population is of working age as per the survey Ubos released in November. Of this 23,494,000-strong working age population, 12,145,000 is outside the labour force. Nearly eight million of these opt not to work on their own volition.<\/p>\n

As President Museveni uses his New Year\u2019s speech later today to address himself to this subset, critics are also encouraging him to spare a thought for the 6,612,000 Ugandans whose need for employment remains unmet.<\/p>\n

There are bodies of empirical evidence that suggest that this subset of people who are passive in the face of unemployment and labour underutilisation end up seeking greener pastures in places such as the United States of America. Even whilst grappling with a cost of living squeeze, many Ugandans pushed the envelope this year to raise the minimum non-refundable fees for a US non-immigrant, temporary visa ($160 or Shs600,000).<\/p>\n

Many Ugandan youth have, however, found themselves coming up against an insurmountable obstacle after paying the aforementioned non-refundable fee.<\/p>\n

Ms Sally Sternal, the consular officer at the US Embassy in Kampala, recently told this newspaper that this is because \u201cit is hard for younger people who are just starting out in their career, or in school, to demonstrate that they have the ties for eligibility for the visas.\u201d<\/p>\n

No bed of roses<\/b><\/p>\n

Those who have ended up getting temporary visas caution against the false belief that the document makes chasing the American dream that much easier. Martin (not real name), who successfully applied for a temporary visa in 2014 after pulling up short three years earlier, told Saturday Monitor that he depleted the meagre savings he took with him to the north-eastern US state of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the months of January up to March in 2014, shelter, food, and clothing were hard to come by,\u201d he said of his initial days in Boston, the state capital of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t help matters that Martin fell out with his host. He was duly \u201cthrown out of the little cubicle and pushed out to the streets.\u201d Martin didn\u2019t land on both his feet on the streets, not least because of the punishing snowstorms.<\/p>\n

When he started taking odd jobs in June of 2014, nothing came out of them due to the dearth of a work permit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout [a work permit], you are forced to earn through an \u2018under the table\u2019 system where you are paid directly for each session worked,\u201d Martin revealed, adding, \u201cThe lack of a work permit also forces many\u2014as was the case with myself\u2014to work in the names of other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Land of opportunities<\/b><\/p>\n

Martin nowadays uses Uber\u2019s ride-hailing platform to eke out a living from a four-door saloon car registered in his name. The migrant is the first to admit that he came to this position not through swaggering certainty, but by learning to humble himself.<\/p>\n

He is, however, hesitant to tell this newspaper how his application for asylum ended up getting the green light.<\/p>\n

Since most migrant workers (famously known by the \u2018mu-summer\u2019 pejorative) who return to Uganda for respective festive seasons have mastered the \u2018fake it till you make it\u2019 art, tales, such as Martin\u2019s, of success coming after years of hard work tend to be drowned out. The lure of Uncle Sam consequently remains stronger than ever for Ugandan youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cArriving here alone reboots your mind. There are many good things like the efficiency of the traffic system, respect for persons, and punctuality levels amongst all persons regardless of one\u2019s background,\u201d Tracy (not real name) told Saturday Monitor, adding: \u201cI came in as a student but my two years here [at Arizona State University] exposed me to new opportunities, new people who valued honesty [and] I didn\u2019t want to go back home to bribe for jobs yet I was assured of getting one here once I settled in well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our labour we give<\/b><\/p>\n

Peter (not real name) reiterated what Tracy proffered. He added that there is comfort to be found in the fact that \u201clabour is one of the most expensive commodities [in the US] and it is paid for by every stroke of a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCorruption back home just takes away any hope. In the US it is different because everyone is accorded equal access to services, jobs and any opportunities regardless of the roots of origin,\u201d he reasoned.<\/p>\n

Peter nevertheless warns that the initial couple of years can be quite \u201crough\u201d as one tries to ensure that \u201ctheir paperwork is in sync with the US Department of State.\u201d<\/p>\n

A top official at Uganda\u2019s embassy in Washington DC, speaking on condition of anonymity, told us that many Ugandans come to the US \u201cbefore understanding the implications and ways of life [in the country].\u201d The official added that many Ugandans \u201crun back to us once the system starts hunting them down for lack of legal documentation.\u201d The official further revealed that many Ugandans, much like Martin, end up becoming asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

We understand that the vast bulk of the applications filed by Uganda migrants are thrown out because of inconsistencies in documentation. The official at the embassy in Washington DC, who wished to remain anonymous, told us that sensitisation of Ugandan migrants about the procedural steps that ought to be met has taken on great significance in the recent past.<\/p>\n

All pointers suggest that Uncle Sam\u2019s hold over Uganda\u2019s unemployed and underemployed youth will be undiminished in 2023 regardless of what Mr Museveni says today or dangles in the New Year.<\/p>\n
