For example, youth unemployment in Bamako is 32%, well above the national average of 12%. With over 300 000 young Malians entering the labour market each year, the security crisis could worsen if sufficient job opportunities are not created.
As a result, economic growth is highly volatile, subject to changing weather conditions, fluctuations in international commodity prices and external shocks. Mali's economy faces challenges across various sectors, in spite of the improvements in certain areas.
The manufacturing sector in Mali accounts for a relatively small share of its GDP. However, it plays a significant role in employment generation. According to the I nternational Labour Organization's estimates, the industrial sector in Mali accounted for about 10% of total employment in 2021.
Informal enterprises in Mali are typically small-scale businesses, including artisans, shopkeepers and service providers, which are often unregistered and lack access to formal credit and markets.
