After the revolution: What job hopes for young Tunisians?

It was the suicide of a fruit seller in Tunisia that sparked protests and led to a revolution that has since seen uprisings spread across the Arab world.

Mohamed Bouazizi was a graduate who, unable to find a job, had to resort to selling fruit illegally on the streets of Tunisia.

His death highlighted a much bigger problem in the country - more than half of Tunisia's population is under the age of 25 and despite the fact that the country has a high number of graduates, the youth unemployment rate is around 30%.

So four months on from the revolution, and as the country prepares for a new future, are young people as hopeful of better employment prospects?
