| description |
This Fast Brief provides a general
background on the main features of labor regulations in the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region. This is part of
an effort to understand employability constraints in MENA
and to this end a World Bank team gathered information on
labor legislation and other legal acts concerning labor
regulations in the region. All this rendered more urgent
with the ongoing social and political turmoil in the region.
Within the broader scope of labor regulations, and in order
to assure regional comparability, the information that was
collected focused on key issues associated with commencing
or terminating employment and during the period of
employment (including maternity benefits). This Brief is to
provide policymakers and international organizations with a
regional analysis of how labor regulation affects labor
market outcomes in the region and to inform governments on
strategic approaches to employment creation through labor
policy and associated reforms. This activity comes as a
response to regional priorities in the context of the Arab
World Initiative (AWI): one of the six strategic themes of
the AWI focuses explicitly on employment creation as a top priority. |
