Description: Do party politics remain a viable tool for youth economic empowerment, or does entrepreneurship, innovation, and grassroots initiatives offer more practical routes to the same end? By connecting historical lessons to the G20 context, the discussion will explore how Africa's new global positioning can be leveraged to secure tangible economic benefits for young people.
Key questions:

• Has politics lost its emancipatory edge in delivering economic opportunity?

• Can Africa's inclusion in the G20 be leveraged to tackle unemployment and inequality?

• How can political leadership overcome internal governance deficits to serve youth interests?

• Are alternative pathways such as entrepreneurship and industrialisation more effective than formal politics in creating economic independence?
