It identifies three major interrelated challenges-joblessness, informality and skills mismatch. The inability to find productive employment has important poverty implications, as labor is the main asset of the poor. But along with the skills mismatch, they also affect efficiency, and thus economic growth, by preventing the economy from using the available human capital to its fullest potential.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCREDITATION SYSTEMACTIVE LABORACTIVE LABOR MARKETACTIVE LABOR MARKET POLICIESACTIVE LABOR MARKET PROGRAMSADOLESCENTSADULT EDUCATIONADULT WORKERSADULTSBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC SKILLSCHILD WORKERSCIVIC EDUCATIONCREATING JOBSCREATIVE THINKINGCURRICULUMCURRICULUM DESIGNDISEASESDRINKING WATEREARLY RETIREMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATED WORKERSEDUCATIONEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL CURRICULAEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT INFORMATIONEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT RATESEMPLOYMENT SERVICESEMPLOYMENT STATUSENROLLMENTFAMILY LABORFIRM GROWTHFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SECTORFORMAL LABOR MARKETFORMAL SCHOOLSFUTURE GROWTHGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGHER EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMAL SECTORINSTRUCTIONINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONJOB CREATIONJOB TRAININGJOBSLABOR FORCELABOR LAWLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR ORGANIZATIONLABOURLABOUR OFFICELACK OF INFORMATIONLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLESSON PLANSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLITERACYLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL EMPLOYERSLOW LEVELS OF EDUCATIONMARKET ECONOMYMASSIVE LAYOFFSMATHEMATICSMEDICAL SERVICESMIGRANTSMILLENNIUM CHALLENGEMINIMUM WAGEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL LEVELNUMERACYOCCUPATIONOLD MENOUT-OF-SCHOOL YOUTHSPACIFIC REGIONPAYING JOBSPENSIONSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY RESPONSEPREVIOUS WORKPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE PROVIDERSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR WAGESPROBLEM SOLVINGPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENTPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPROVISION OF TECHNICALQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY CONTROLREMEDIAL EDUCATIONRETIREMENTRURAL AREASSAFETY NETSALARIED WORKERSALARIED WORKERSSCHOOL CURRICULASCHOOL GRADUATESSCHOOL YOUTHSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENCE STUDYSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSELF EMPLOYEDSELF EMPLOYMENTSKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSSKILLS TRAININGSMALL BUSINESSESSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL WELFARESTANDARDSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTEACHERTEACHERSTEACHINGTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL SKILLSTEMPORARY WORKERSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING VOUCHERUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCEUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSITIESUNMET DEMANDUNSKILLED WORKERSURBAN AREASVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL SKILLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GROWTHWAGE INCREASEWORKERWORKING CHILDRENWORKING POPULATIONYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHYOUTH EMPLOYMENTWorld Bank10.1596/7746
