Abstract

The Zimbabwean economy continuously faces challenges. With quite a number of developmental issues still unresolved, emerging issues are also piling pressure as this chapter will show. Some of the issues are also linked to the various thematic areas largely explored in the previous chapters of the book. Critical emerging issues which are likely to enter as arguments in the development journey of the country as discussed in this chapter include; the pervasive problem of drug and substance abuse among especially young people, outstanding institutional reforms, informalisation of the economy as well as the plight of the weak and vulnerable members of the society. For instance, the (Ministry of Health and Child Care (2023) Drug Problem from US to Zimbabwe) shows that the problem is common among the young people, 15–19-year-olds. Dealing with this scourge requires also substantial resources which the country does not have. On the other hand, in the chapter, we argue that given the state of incapacitation of the economy in its present state, the weaker and vulnerable have not been spared of the challenges. This also adds on to the complexities of the challenges the country still finds itself in.
