Research Report: Labour Market Perceptions of Young People in Sierra Leone

This report is based on the quantitative data gathered as a part of the mixed-methods research
project “Youth Labour Market Participation in Urban Sierra Leone” funded by the Fritz-ThyssenStiftung.
A structured survey was administered in April 2025 in three urban centres: Freetown, Bo and Makeni
to a randomly selected sample of young people aged between 18 and 35.
