Despite all the efforts to promote growth and significant investments in education by Arab countries, a large segment of Arab youth continues to remain outside of the mainstream of economic and social life. In 2006, the MENA already exhibited the highest youth unemployment rate in the World (24.6 percent and 25.7 percent respectively) as well as the largest gender gap in unemployment. Recent estimates predict that as a result of the economic crisis, youth unemployment could increase by a further 4.6 percent in the Middle East and up to 4 percent in North Africa over the 2008-2009 periods, and impact particularly on young women. 2012-08-13T13:44:39Z 2012-08-13T13:44:39Z 2009-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/09/11419318/investing-youth-mena-region-operationalize-youth-interventions-ii http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10973 English MENA Knowledge and Learning Quick Notes Series; No. 11 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa
