From Saudi Arabia to Spain, to South America, the number of people unable to secure work has been described as a ticking time bomb and, in many regions, has been a trigger for civil unrest. Coronavirus has only deepened the inequalities that exist in the unemployment market, with youth and women disproportionately affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of The Impact Room, we are joined by two women who are at the vanguard of finding new solutions to this complex problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mona Mourshed is the founding CEO of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.generation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Generation<\/a>: You Employed, a global organisation dedicated to solving joblessness by creating pathways from education to employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryana Iskander is the CEO of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harambee.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator<\/a>, a South African-based social enterprise tackling the barriers that lock young Africans out of work, with a goal of region-wide systems change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generation uses a seven-step matching system to bring employees to employers. It has an 83 percent job placement rate within three months of programme completion, with graduates earning up to four times their previous salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harambee has created more than 500,000 work placements and recently led South Africa&#8217;s first social impact bond aimed at securing and keeping young people in work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of the Impact Room, Mona and Maryana talk unemployment models and why they fail,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90611533\/memo-to-silicon-valley-heres-what-blitzscaling-looks-like-in-the-nonprofit-world\" target=\"_blank\">chasing systems change over scale<\/a>, and why donors need to listen more and demand less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Impact Room is brought to you by Philanthropy Age and Maysa Jalbout.
