Jude Fokwang

"Who are 'youth'? In [Cameroon], because of high unemployment and other factors, many people are slow to ascend to social adulthood. They fail to find a job, defer marriage, continue to live with their parents. Their ‘youth’ is extended, so their participation as full citizens is postponed. This delay in taking up the responsibilities of citizenship can have profound social and political effects."
