About these reports
Every interaction on the AK035 platform generates anonymised data that feeds into the research published here. The reports cover what we observe on the ground: how job seekers use the tools, where they struggle, and what patterns emerge across different provinces and demographics.
Nothing in these reports identifies individual users.
Data disclosure: All data is anonymised at the point of collection and used solely for social research into youth unemployment. Read the full privacy framework.
