Youth Unemployment in the Arab World
This campaign on youth unemployment aimed to shed light on a social crisis that confronts countries across the Middle East and North Africa. The campaign was conducted for Visualizing Impact, a non-profit based in Beirut which uses data visualization to highlight priority campaigns. With a young population, one of the highest rates of youth unemployment in the world, and an increasing age of economic independence for younger generations, the crisis facing young people in the region is increasingly pressing. The insights from primary research revealed that being unemployed causes Arab youngsters to feel guilty for being educated and having entrepreneurial ambitions, something which we then chose to highlight in the visuals for the campaign.
