Abstract
A Jobs diagnostic is the first analytic
step in an operational framework designed to help countries
achieve inclusive economic growth through faster growth in
labor incomes. Created for IDA countries under IDA17, its
purpose is to guide policy makers and development
practitioners in the design of country jobs strategies. Jobs
strategies comprise policy reforms, regulations and
investments to improve labor incomes and working conditions,
especially for targeted vulnerable groups. Strategies
provide solutions to problems identified and validated at
the diagnostic stage. Jobs Diagnostics explore how workers
benefit from growth with economic transformation. This note
first explains the thinking behind relating jobs outcomes to
economic transformation, then provides a succinct summary of
the jobs diagnostic approach as a series of key steps. It is
supplemented by more detailed online guidance with examples,
which can be found at each of the web links embedded.
