Governance and Public Sector employment in the Arab World 2012-09-19
BAHRAIN, 2012/09/19 Recent events across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have underscored the urgent need to ensure job creation and an enabling environment for a young and better-educated, extra skilled labor force. The international economic crisis has further deepened the problem in a region that is characterized by the world’s highest youth unemployment rate and the lowest female labor force participation. This goes hand-in-hand with overwhelmingly low price-added employment and a public sector that in most countries still provides most formal jobs. Tackling these problems and challenges has become a key policy priority for virtually amount governments in the region.
