Abstract
This Jobs Note is a result of
collaboration between S4YE-Jobs Group and Rand Corporation
(an S4YE partner) . It builds on research covering the three
countries with the highest concentration of Syrian refugees
displaced since 2011: Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. It is
intended to inform policymakers and practitioners on the
barriers that Syrian refugees, especially women, face in
securing work to earn a livelihood. This Note highlights
practical solutions that have been designed and implemented
by the World Bank and other S4YE partners including
ReBootKamp, Education for Employment-Tunisia, Youth Business
International, and the International Labour Organization.
While not specific addressing internally-displaced persons
(IDPs) within Syria, this Note could serve as a blueprint
for examining and addressing many of the same barriers women
face in Syria.
