In 2009, unemployment among youth 15-24 years old was 28 percent for men and 36 percent for women in West Bank and 57 percent for men and 68 percent for women in Gaza. To better understand the reasons behind these poor labor market indicators, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE) in collaboration with the World Bank conducted focus group discussions with concerned stakeholders in March 2011. This quick note provides a summary of the presentation on the patterns of education-to-work transitions of youth in the West Bank and Gaza (WBG) made by the World Bank team to the focus group meetings. It also incorporates a summary of the subsequent discussions.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCREDITATIONACTIVE LABORACTIVE LABOR MARKETACTIVE LABOR MARKET PROGRAMSADULT LITERACYBASIC EDUCATIONCAPACITY OF TERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSCONTINUOUS EDUCATIONCURRICULADIPLOMASEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT PATTERNEMPLOYMENT PROSPECTSEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONENROLLMENTFEMALE EMPLOYMENTFURTHER EDUCATIONGENDER EQUALITYGENDER PARITYHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINTERNSHIPSJOB INSECURITYJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOBSLABOR DEMANDLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET NEEDSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR SUPPLYLEARNINGLEARNING ACTIVITIESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLITERACYMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITYNEW ENTRANTSOCCUPATIONPRINCIPALSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPUBLIC WORKSPUPILSSCHOLARSHIPSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSKILL LEVELSSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SCIENCESTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING METHODSTECHNICAL COLLEGESTERTIARY EDUCATIONTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSESTRAINING PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY GRADUATESUNIVERSITY GRADUATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL STUDENTSWAGE SUBSIDIESWORKERWORKING CONDITIONSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/10854
