      abstract = {According to a 2008 World Bank Report, Uganda is among the  countries with the youngest population and the highest  youth unemployment rate of 83%. During the reading of the  2011/2012 budget of Uganda, the then Minister of Finance  recognized that because of the high levels of unemployment,  the Ugandan economy can only absorb 20% of its youth. Owing  to this, this demographic has often been described as a  ticking time bomb waiting to explode. The above  notwithstanding, Uganda is blessed with an abundance of  land and land-based resources which remain largely  underutilized. Specifically, land held under Customary  tenure accounts for 80% of all land held in the country.  Land governed under customary tenure has often been labeled  a hindrance to youth accessibility of land and the  resources held therein because of reasons that are well  elaborated in herein. This paper seeks to rebut these  arguments and discuss how in fact customary tenure may be  the avenue through which youth can access land for  socio-economic empowerment.},
