Abstract

Robust pandemic preparedness and response is an urgent need necessary to address vulnerability and to prevent, detect and respond to an outbreak in FCV situations. It contributes to universal health security, protecting all people from threats to their health, and should be integrated in broader efforts to strengthen health systems and make them more resilient through multisakeholder coordination.

Making Employment Services and Active Measures Sensitive to the Needs of Young People : Recommendations for Youth Employment Programs in Kosovo

Hempel, Kevin (2020-01)

Young people are particularly disadvantaged in Kosovo’s labor market, facing high unemployment and precarious working conditions. In response, promoting youth employment has become a policy priority for the Government of Kosovo. Supporting young people’s employment prospects must consider that young people are different than adults. First, they face age-specific barriers in the labor market, such as lack of work experience and limited professional networks. Second, the youth years are a time of transition where young people build autonomy and identity and are strongly influenced by their social environment. These realities need to be considered for program design and implementation. Youth employment policies and interventions should therefore be sensitive to the specific needs and preferences of young people.

Smart Contract Technology and Financial Inclusion

World Bank Group (2020-05-01)

FinTech Note is a World Bank Group (WBG) series that explores the role of FinTech (the confluence of 'finance' and 'technology') in economic development, with an emphasis on financial inclusion. The purpose of this note is threefold. First, by bringing together in single resource key technological, economic, and legal aspects of smart contracts (sections 3-5), the note serves as a high-level reference on the basic elements of smart contracts. It equips local policymakers and WBG staff with the requisite foundation to effectively brainstorm about smart contracts' productive use in local economies. Second, the note discusses select policy considerations (section 6) that local authorities, standard setting bodies, and international organizations will need to evaluate in order to ensure smart contracts' responsible and effective deployment in retail and micro, small, and medium enterprise ...

Stronger Headwinds Bring New Challenges for the Government

Morisset, Jacques (2020-04)

With rising global health and economic concerns, Vietnam economy is expected to be significantly affected, even though the COVID 19 health crisis has been so far contained, with only 240 cases of infected people and no registered death as of early April. The World Bank’s GDP growth forecast for Vietnam has been cut by half compared to pre-crisis projections, with new forecast at 3.0 percent in 2020. Both the fiscal and external accounts are expected to deteriorate, creating a fiscal financing gap of approximately 5 billion dollars that will require new borrowings. The Government’s fiscal response, a combination of tax and social protection measures, is expected to attenuate the short-term economic costs associated to the COVID 19 pandemic, but the key challenges will be the rapid and effective implementation of the above measures and preparing the economy for the expected rebound when the ...
