Interventions to support young workers in South, East Asia and the Pacific : regional report for the youth employment inventory
Stavreska, Antoneta
Youth employment has become a major concern in many countries around the world. As policy-makers consider measures to help young people make the transition into the labor market and obtain decent work, they are hampered by a lack of information on what their options are, what works in different situations, and what has been tried and failed. To respond to this situation, the World Bank has compiled a world-wide inventory of interventions that are designed to integrate young people into the labor market. In South and East Asia and the Pacific the Youth Employment Inventory (YEI) documented 21 interventions from 11 countries across the region. These interventions have been analyzed in order to (i) document the types of programs that have been implemented to support young workers to find work; and (ii) identify what appears to work in terms of improving employment outcomes for youth. This regional report studies the characteristics of youth employment programs in Asia and the Pacific, describes popular interventions and their labor market impacts whenever evaluation evidence is available. Section B describes the methodology used to compile and assess the interventions. Coverage of the inventory by category of intervention, targeting and financing is presented in Section C. Section D discusses the quality of the information and evaluations while section E assess the quality of the interventions in terms of the programs impact on employment and earnings. Conclusions are drawn in Section F.
