rs, Professor Ernest Aryeetey, Professor Craig Jeffrey, and Professor Peter Rosa, along  with all the other participants, provided useful feedback and encouraged us to  proceed with presenting the key project findings in book form.  A string of people provided support for the project and the book along the  way. At the host institution – the Department of Geography, University of  Copenhagen – the untiring assistance of Dorthe Hallin with the accounts was  invaluable, and in the closing stages Kent Pørksen kindly helped produce the  maps at short notice. Wisdom Kalenga and Cecilia Gregersen both spent time at  CBS providing assistance with the data analysis and conference support. Maheen  Pracha did an excellent job editing the entire manuscript while Jo Woods  assisted in the final checking and layout. Thanks are also due to Faye Leerink at  Routledge for seeing the potential of the book and for agreeing to allow it to be  subsequently published in sub-Saharan Africa, which we hope will ensure it is  also widely read there.  As all of the project participants spent lengthy periods of time in the field and/  or visiting other academic institutions, many families have had to cope with  these absences. We thank them for their forbearance and for supporting the  respective team members in their studies and travels. Hopefully they feel it was  worthwhile in the end.  While producing this book has been a major effort, it marks the end of an era  that started back in November 2008 when we first started devising the project in  response to a call from FFU for projects on youth employment. We are  extremely grateful to all of the “YEMP family”, as the project team came to be  known, for their dedication to the project and for making it such a rewarding and  fun experience, and look forward to future collaboration
