Abstract: The study brings forth the challenges of marginalised youth in accessing jobs and how effective is the public service delivery in addressing their challenges. Taking a life cycle approach, the study identifies four categories of challenges which include livelihood, education, training and employment-related issues of the youth. Lack of transparency and accountability of the concerned public offices deprive youths in accessing essential services related to these challenges. A standard operating procedure (SOP) should be maintained in order to ensure effectiveness, transparency and accountability of these public services. Increased budgetary allocation is required in a number of accounts, such as for better housing facilities, for accessing tertiary-level education and establishment of new schools, educational equipment, ICT labs and skill development of teachers. Establishment of specialised industrial estates/zones may be taken into consideration in regions where marginalised youths’ concentration is high. Effective GO–NGO–private sector collaboration in accessing information and providing soft–hard skills of training, is also important.
