The authors analyze five rounds of
National Sample Survey data covering 1983, 1987/8, 1993/4,
1999/0, and 2004/5 to explore the relationship between rural
diversification and poverty. Poverty in rural India declined
at a modest rate during this period. The authors provide
region-level estimates that illustrate considerable
geographic heterogeneity in this progress. Poverty estimates
correlate well with region-level data on changes in
agricultural wage rates. Agricultural labor remains the
preserve of the uneducated and also to a large extent of the
scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Although agricultural
labor grew as a share of total economic activity over the
first four rounds, it had fallen back to the levels observed
at the beginning of the survey period by 2004. This
all-India trajectory masks widely varying trends across
states. During this period, the rural non-farm sector grew
modestly, mainly between the last two survey rounds. Regular
non-farm employment remains largely associated with
education levels and social status that are rare among the
poor. However...

This paper analyzes how the
employment/productivity profile of growth and its sectoral
pattern are correlated with poverty reduction. The authors
use a sample of 104 short-run growth spells in developing
countries, between 1980 and 2001. They also identify some
conditions of the labor market and the economic environment
that are associated with employment-intensive growth or
specific sectoral growth. The results show that, in the
short run, although the aggregate employment-rate intensity
of growth does not matter for poverty reduction any more
than the aggregate productivity intensity of growth, the
sectoral pattern of employment growth and productivity
growth is important. Employment-intensive growth in the
secondary sector is associated with decreases in poverty,
while employment-intensive growth in agriculture is
correlated with poverty increases. Similarly,
productivity-intensive growth in agriculture is associated
with decreases in poverty. Although the study does not
address causality, coincidence of these phenomena in this
large sample of heterogeneous countries and periods suggests
that...

Throughout the Middle East, unemployment
rates of educated youth have been persistently high and
female labor force participation, low. This paper studies
the impact of a randomized experiment in Jordan designed to
assist female community college graduates find employment.
One randomly chosen group of graduates was given a voucher
that would pay an employer a subsidy equivalent to the
minimum wage for up to 6 months if they hired the graduate;
a second group was invited to attend 45 hours of
employability skills training designed to provide them with
the soft skills employers say graduates often lack; a third
group was offered both interventions; and the fourth group
forms the control group. The analysis finds that the job
voucher led to a 40 percentage point increase in employment
in the short-run, but that most of this employment is not
formal, and that the average effect is much smaller and no
longer statistically significant 4 months after the voucher
period has ended. The voucher does appear to have persistent
impacts outside the capital...

This note presents a brief overview of
Public Employment Services (PES) in Egypt and describes the
institutional framework for public delivery of Active Labor
Market Programs (ALMPs) in Egypt. Egypt has the fourth largest
economy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region
and has implemented economic reforms since 2004 which have
led to some economic growth (e.g. a fast growing technology
sector and the country has been recognized as one of the top
offshoring destinations for international companies).

This paper analyzes the differential
impact of climate change policies on employment in Eastern
Europe and Central Asia. In particular, the paper examines
(i) how vulnerable labor markets are in Eastern European and
Central Asian countries to future carbon regulation, and
(ii) what countries can do to mitigate some of the potential
negative effects of these regulatory changes on employment.
In many aspects, the nature of the shock associated with
climate regulation is similar to that associated with an
increase in energy prices. Constraints on carbon emissions
put a price on climate-damaging activities and make
hydrocarbon-based energy production and consumption more
expensive. As a result, firms in energy-intensive industries
may react to higher energy prices by reducing production,
which in turn would lead to lower employment. In the
presence of frictions in labor markets, these sector shifts
will cause resources to be unemployed, at least in the short
term. Using principal component analysis, the paper finds
that Eastern European and Central Asian countries vary
greatly in their vulnerability and adaptability of
employment to carbon regulation. Since the economy takes
time to adjust...

This study surveys active labor market
programs (ALMPs) in selected countries of the Middle East
and North Africa (MENA) region, identifies key challenges to
their effective and efficient delivery, and proposes a
policy framework for reforming public service provision.
This study draws on data collected through surveys
administered to public social, employment, and education
agencies in selected MENA countries to identify key
constraints and options for reforming publicly provided
employment programs. Recent political transitions arising
from the Arab Spring have contributed to the deterioration
of labor market outcomes in the MENA region. In this
context, ALMPs could become an important policy lever to
address some of the challenges facing labor markets. These
include: joblessness, skills mismatches, lack of labor
market mobility, large and expanding informal sector, and
lack of formal employment networks. The study also provides
specific details on the beneficiaries, targeting, and
expenditures of ALMPs during this same period.

This paper investigates whether the
Ethiopian economy is undergoing a virtuous process of
structural change. In particular, it assesses the relative
contributions of within-sector and between-sector
productivity to output per capita growth. Based on data
disaggregated into eight sectors for the period 1996-2011,
the analysis suggests that the structure of output has
changed considerably -- predominantly from agriculture to
services -- but changes in the composition of employment
have lagged behind. Labor productivity growth has been
strong across most sectors, albeit mainly driven by
within-sector productivity improvements. Nonetheless, the
pace of structural change is accelerating and its relative
contribution to output growth is increasing.

Many recent studies and reports on the
performance of the energy sector have focused on the
employment generated by investment. Governments, planning
their energy futures, are also interested in the job
creation benefits and possible identification of skill
shortages that may emerge from a large energy program.
Employment created or supported by the energy sector is
frequently an issue whenever government support is being
considered or provided. The purpose of this issues paper is
to provide a guide to using such figures or constructing
such estimates, and focuses in particular on illustrating
different approaches and methodologies used in the last
decade in estimating employment created. The study does not
aim to provide definitive estimates of the employment
generation potential of different technologies. The paper
begins with a brief review of the various reasons why
studies have focused on the employment generated by energy
sector activities. It then reviews the different categories
of employment that are commonly measured and discusses the
bottom-up and top-down methodologies widely used for
estimating these employment levels. The second half of the
paper reviews in some detail certain studies that provide
useful insights into methodology...

This paper reviews the main challenges
facing countries in attempting to improve labor market
outcomes among youth, focusing on the issues that became
starkly visible during the recent financial crisis. In order
to better identify and set up human development
interventions, the paper proposes an agenda that focuses on
three areas: (1) improving the understanding of the causes
and consequences of poor labor market outcomes for youth;
(2) continuing to learn from the evaluation of pilots and
programs that aim to promote productive employment among
young people; and (3) addressing implementation issues which
frequently overwhelm the best designs. The paper utilizes
research on youth employment to take stock of youth labor
market outcomes across regions, focusing on inactivity,
unemployment, and employment indicators. A review of what is
known about current interventions, including those that
appear in the youth employment Inventory database of
programs, provides the basis for determining the efficacy of
five categories of intervention: (i) skills training

Fast growth in Rwanda since the turn of
the century has been accompanied by solid poverty reduction.
Between 2000 and 2013, gross domestic product (GDP) grew at
eight percent per year, resulting in a 170 percent increase
in real GDP. As the poor almost uniquely depend on labor to
generate income, the strong reduction in poverty suggests
tangible improvements in employment outcomes over this
period. This jobs and employment study focuses on the recent
dynamics in Rwanda’s jobs’ landscape. Using data from a
variety of sources, mainly the three integrated households
living conditions surveys (EICV1, EICV2, and EICV3) and the
2011 establishment census, the report looks at what workers
in Rwanda are doing and what they are making, and how this
has changed over the past ten to fifteen years. Most of the
report focuses on the five years between 2006 and 2011,
although at times, the authors will also look at the
evolution since 2001. The report concludes with a number of
ideas to address Rwanda’s jobs challenge in the near future.

Youth employment issues are a major
concern for many countries because they have negative
effects on the welfare of young people, and may also
adversely affect economic performance and social stability.
This is the first Independent Evaluation Group (IEG)
evaluation of the World Bank Group's support to
countries trying to address youth employment issues. The
World Bank lending portfolio for youth employment is
relatively small, although components of programs appear in
57 countries. Most projects include interventions in skills
development and school-to-work transition. Half of the
projects include interventions to foster job creation and
work opportunities for youth. International Finance
Corporation (IFC) has a broad approach to job creation.
Between FY01 and FY11 youth employment has not been
specifically targeted, except in the Middle East and North
Africa region and in a small number of other interventions.
IFC invested $500 million to 50 investment operations and 18
advisory services to education. Although youth employment is

The state of national labor markets has
always been a concern for governments and development
agencies such as the World Bank. Key labor market
indicators, such as the rate of unemployment, send signals
about the health of an economy and mirror citizens'
attitudes. Being gainfully employed is an important aspect
of an individual's well-being both financially and
socially, as 'initial failures in finding a job can
lead to persistent joblessness, a loss of interest in
further schooling, delayed family formation, mental
distress, and negative manifestations of citizenship'
(World Bank 2007). Increased expenditure on infrastructure
projects has a short-run effect on employment creation as
more workers are hired to build infrastructure. These jobs
last only during the investment phase of the project, and,
without a continuous injection as in a stimulus-type
program, such jobs will be temporary. However, the
investment program will have created a larger stock of
infrastructure capital and this permanent addition
facilitates additional growth in the economy. The extra
demand from this incremental growth creates more jobs...

This paper examines labor market
outcomes in Armenia and their impact on poverty. The
outcomes are of considerable concern: relatively few persons
of working age are employed, and many of those who are
employed have low-productivity jobs. The problem is not only
high unemployment, but also low labor force participation.
The main factor behind the low employment/population ratio
is weak labor demand and the scarcity of productive job
opportunities. This paper begins in section one by
discussing the main labor market challenges in Armenia,
before focusing on unemployment in section two. Section
three analyzes the nature of employment and jobs, while
section four examines wage determination and structure.
Section five then evaluates the relationship between
individuals' and households' labor market status
and poverty. Finally, section six concludes with policy
implications of the analysis. In order to reach the 60
percent employment rate Armenia would need to create an
additional 166,000 jobs. This will lead to a 14 percent
increase in employment...

Fourteen years of civil conflict
(1989-2003) have destroyed Liberia's social and
economic infrastructure and brought the economy nearly to a
halt. Workers who came of age during the conflict are
largely unskilled, and the supply of workers exceeds demand
by a substantial margin. The negative effects of
unemployment, underemployment, and low productivity on
economic growth have made employment the most urgent demand
of the population and the top priority for Government
action. This report offers guidance to the Government of
Liberia in its development of a more strategic approach
toward increasing productivity and employment, in order to
achieve its pro-poor growth objectives. This report includes
seven sections: employment is key for poverty reduction; one
in five workers is unemployed or underemployed; the
structure of Liberia's economy limits prospects for
formal sector employment; transformation of the agriculture
sector is essential for pro-poor growth; investment and job
growth in the formal sector are constrained by three main
factors; labor-intensive public works programs are necessary
for the very poor; and education and training must be
improved to enhance employability.

Employment and skills are at the core of
Europe 2020, the European Union's (EU) competitiveness
strategy, and are decisive for high productivity and
sustained growth. Romania has overcome significant
challenges on its path to EU membership and in the early
years thereafter. However, the Romanian economy has recently
come under pressure as a result of the economic crisis and
because important reforms in employment and education have
not yet been completed. The Europe 2020 Romania report
discusses the key challenges currently faced by Romania in
the area of productive employment, and proposes a set of
steps the Romanian government could consider in order to
reach the Europe 2020 targets. Skills remain a major
challenge. In particular, there is insufficient provision of
the higher level generic and technical skills needed for a
modern and competitive economy, including skills for
technological innovation and absorption of new technologies.
While Romania performs comparatively well in terms of higher

Roma in marginalized localities in the
Czech Republic have not benefited from the recent improving
employment opportunities in the Czech labor market.
Employment among Roma is low and labor market participation
limited, often driven by lacking labor market opportunities.
The labor market status among the Roma is strongly driven by
educational attainment and skills, and the vast majority of
Roma in marginalized communities suffer from low attainment
and lacking functional literacy and numeracy skills. As a
result a majority rely on traditionally generous social
welfare benefits to make ends meet. In an effort to reduce
this welfare trap the Czech Government has introduced
measures to reduce benefits and tighten conditions for
long-term unemployed who are inactive. However, with very
low demand for low or unskilled labor and widespread
indebtedness of Roma which acts as a binding barrier to
choosing formal employment, this tightening of
beneficiaries' incentives alone will not suffice in
enhancing their employment chances. It requires effective
interventions by the employment services; yet in its current
set-up the Czech labor office appears not well placed to
provide effective support to long-term unemployed and
disadvantaged job-seekers such as Roma. A new approach to
improving job chances for socially excluded youth and adults
is necessary...

One of the responses to new challenges
in the labor market has been the development and expansion
of employment services and active labor market policies
based on activation principles. The objective of this study
is to document and review international experiences,
predominantly from selected emerging market economies and
developing countries, with the design and implementation of
activation programs, provided by Public Employment Services,
through the prism of incentives and sanctions. Employment
promotion legislation from the reviewed countries is a major
source of information. Participation of beneficiaries in
relevant services and programs is also analyzed. The study
finds that the countries use a variety of instruments, be it
specific employment services, active labor market programs,
or benefit and other sanctions, to 'activate'
jobseekers with an aim to encourage them to become more
active in their efforts to find work and/or improve their
employability. In practice, the activation policies vary
considerably across countries.

Getting youth into productive employment
is an urgent policy issue for countries around the world.
Many governments in low and middle-income countries are
actively engaged in policies to help youth attain the skills
they need to do well in work and in life, as well as to find
suitable employment. The involvement of the private sector
in youth skills development and employment is a complex
issue because the nature of the firms and their motivations
vary significantly. Multinational corporations operating in
low and middle-income countries may be motivated by direct
productivity or profit objectives - to secure a skilled
workforce, or reliable suppliers - but also, or even
primarily, by corporate social responsibility (CSR) factors.
Firms that supply training or employment services will be
driven by profit considerations when entering these markets
and deciding what services to offer and to whom. The purpose
of this paper is threefold: (1) to provide a comprehensive
look at the way the private sector is involved in youth
skills and employment in low- and middle-income countries...
