True

Explanation:

Unemployment rates in large African cities is very high not because there are no available jobs but because of frictional unemployment. Frictional employment happens when someone quits his old job and starts searching for a new and hopefully better job. The poor farmers in Africa are quitting their farming jobs and moving into the cities to look for better jobs.
