Improving educational achievement for
youth doesn't always result in better employment
opportunities, and this can be especially acute in
developing countries. As the World Bank's 2013 world
development report highlights, the mismatch between the
skills and aspirations of college graduates and the
realities of labor markets not only limits a country's
economic development, but also affects social cohesion.
Joblessness and underemployment are viewed as some of the
triggers of the Arab Spring, which started with
Tunisia's jasmine revolution in early 2011. In Tunisia,
the World Bank worked with the government to evaluate a
program designed to give university students
entrepreneurship training and assistance developing a
business plan. The evaluation found that the program
increased self-employment and helped students develop some
skills associated with successful entrepreneurship. The
lessons learned from the evaluation will help policymakers
and development experts hone programs that deliver an impact. |
