dc.description.abstractYouths are a vital part of the economic workforce, but they face unique challenges and opportunities in a rapidly changing world. Despite being tech-savvy and socially conscious, many youths struggle to access the labor market due to lack of experience, job opportunities, and job security. Youth and female unemployment is a major issue globally, impacting economic welfare and growth. Addressing this can improve productivity, stability, and social cohesion. Studies show that youth unemployment in Bhutan is particularly high, with female youths being more vulnerable due to limited resources, education, and workplace discrimination. The 2022 National Labor Force Survey reveals a significant rise in youth unemployment, with females at 7.9 percent and males at 4.4 percent. The agriculture sector remains a key economic activity, employing 49.2 percent of the labor force. This study aims to understand the challenges and constraints faced by women and youth in accessing employment opportunities.en
