From the heart of Africa, a spellbinding true story of entrepreneurship, media, culture, and tradition, all tastefully rolled into one! Absolute Radio is an authentic story of girls and boys who became women and men - and heroes - on the wings of a radio station. Running the course of 25 years, the story comes from the culturally stylish twin city of Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana, with global footprints. It is the most tantalising and ground-breaking body of work about Ghana’s private broadcasting industry. The author, former journalist Phillip Nyakpo, is himself an eye-witness and a participant in these true events. From his base in Perth, Australia, Phillip interviewed women and men across four continents who made it happen over a quarter of a century. The result is that he opened up to the world, a character and spirit of Africa that is all too often missing. In telling the story, he writes a compelling narrative that is delicate, witty, eye-opening, and wonderfully inspiring.

Youth have always had higher unemployment rates – about twice or more than the average – as they are usually the last to be hired in an expansion and the first to be let go in a recession. In addition, young people engage in extensive job searching in their early years, and this can imply considerable job churning as both youth and employers look for a good match. This highlights the importance of facilitating the school-to-work transition and having early interventions to assist such youth before negative conditions set in. It also highlights the potential importance of determining those young people most “at risk” of long-term unemployment, and of targeting or streaming them into p...
