The authors address the interrelationship between labor, human development, and social well-being in the Middle East and North Africa region -- an interaction that is viewed against the backdrop of a globalization process that is a crucial shaping factor in national and international relations alike. The authors scrutinize the implications for workers of the new forms of insecurity being ushered in by the globalization era. At the forefront is the issue of social protection, which creates several dilemmas for policymakers, since formal social security covers only a small percentage of the labor force. The idea of social reinsurance, which would integrate the informal sector and allow for social dialog, emerges at various levels, and there is general agreement that any such dialog, or new social contract, must include government, the private sector, and civil society.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCOUNTINGACTIVE LABORACTIVE LABOR MARKETACTIVE LABOR MARKET POLICIESACTIVE LABOR MARKET PROGRAMSAFFECTED WORKERSAPPROPRIATE COMPENSATIONASSOCIATE PROFESSORATTRITIONBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC LEARNINGCAREERCHILD LABORCIVIL SOCIETYCOLLECTIVE BARGAININGCOLLEGESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNITY COLLEGECOMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEMCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCOMPETITIVE LABOR MARKETSCOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKCORPORATE GOVERNANCECRITICAL THINKINGCURRICULADEADWEIGHTDEADWEIGHT LOSSDEGREESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDIRECT JOB CREATIONDISMISSED WORKERSDISPLACED WORKERSEARLY RETIREMENTECONOMIC EFFICIENCYECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL POLICYEMPLOYABILITYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT INFORMATIONEMPLOYMENT LEVELSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEMPLOYMENT PROSPECTSEMPLOYMENT SERVICESEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONENTERPRISE TRAININGEXPENDITURESFIRST-TIME JOB SEEKERSFREE TRADEGIRLSHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHIGH WAGESHIGHER EDUCATIONHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESILLITERACYIN-SERVICE TRAININGINCOMEINCOME INEQUALITYINDUSTRIAL TRAININGINFORMAL ECONOMIESINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINSTRUCTORSINTERNSHIPSJOB COUNSELINGJOB CREATIONJOB LOSSESJOB MARKETJOB PLACEMENTJOB PLACEMENT SERVICESJOB SECURITYJOB SEEKERSJOB SEPARATIONJOBSLABOR ABSORPTIONLABOR FORCELABOR LAWSLABOR LEGISLATIONLABOR MANAGEMENTLABOR MARKET CHARACTERISTICSLABOR MARKET DEMANDLABOR MARKET FLEXIBILITYLABOR MARKET FORECASTSLABOR MARKET INFORMATIONLABOR MARKET INFORMATION SYSTEMSLABOR MARKET INTERMEDIATIONLABOR MARKET NEEDSLABOR MARKET PROGRAMLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR MOBILITYLABOR OFFICESLABOR REDUNDANCIESLABOURLAYOFFSLIFELONG EDUCATIONLIFELONG LEARNINGLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL LABOR MARKETLOW EMPLOYMENTMANPOWERMARKET ECONOMYMATERNITY LEAVEMATHEMATICSMIGRANT WORKERSMINIMUM WAGESMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITY OF LABORMODULAR TRAININGMONOPOLIESMORTALITYOCCUPATIONSOLDER WORKERSOPPORTUNITY COSTSORGANIZED LABORPAPERSPENSION PLANSPERMANENT EMPLOYMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPRESENT VALUEPREVIOUS SECTIONPRICE CONTROLSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRINCIPAL ALTERNATIVEPRIVATE EMPLOYMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR WAGESPRIVATE SECTORSPRIVATE TRAININGPROBLEM SOLVINGPRODUCT MARKETSPRODUCTION PROCESSESPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC SECTOR DOWNSIZINGPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEESPUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC SECTOR JOBSPUBLIC SECTOR WORKERPUBLIC SECTOR WORKERSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSPUBLIC WORKS SCHEMEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONREGULAR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSRESEARCH CAPACITYRETRAININGRETRAINING PROGRAMSRETRENCHED WORKERSRIGHT TO WORKRISING UNEMPLOYMENTSAFETYSAFETY NETSECONDARY EDUCATIONSERVANTSSERVICE SECTORSEVERANCE PAYSKILL REQUIREMENTSSKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESTEACHINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY GRADUATESTERTIARY LEVELTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING PROVIDERSTRAINING SERVICESTRAINING SYSTEMUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONURBAN WORKERSVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL PROGRAMSVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMSWAGE BILLWAGE LEVELSWAGE SUBSIDIESWORK EXPERIENCEWORK FORCEWORKERWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/977-424-700-0
