The objective of this study was the Nexus between Youth Unemployment and Food Insecurity Evidences from Nifas Silk Lafeto Sub-City Woreda 09. A sample of 118 Youths were included. The respondents were interviewed with the use of a structured questionnaire to obtain information on their demographic, socioeconomic characteristics and dietary intake. Age, Number of dependent, Income, Job preferences, Employment status and marital status are significant predictor cause food insecurity and have stronger correlation. 35.3% of the households were categorized as food secure, 28.4% as mildly food insecure, 27.5% as moderately food insecure and 8.8% as severely food insecure based on the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and the Household Dietary Diversity Scale (HDDS) results shows the majority of them eaten low protein diets 92.3%, 63.39%, 80.34%, 94.09%, 95.76%, 73.73%, and 90.58% cereals, potato, vegetable, bean/peas/, oil, sugar and coffee were consumed more in the past 24 hours of the study. Youths with food shortages were forced to use a range of coping strategies, mainly consumption-related mechanisms that include purchasing food on credit, reduce portion and skipped meals, shopping in cheap shops for cheap foods, informal support experiences friends and family and dietary change. It is recommended that efforts to improve socio-economic status of the youth by enhancing the food insecurity of the households in the city need to be focused. It promotes the employability of young people through a system of participation, where you can find a large labor supply and training courses for work, so that young people achieve the country's development articulated in better condition.
