| Summary: | This report, funded by the Trust Fund
for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development
(TFESSD), seeks to identify labor market inequalities in the
ten countries outlined above, to relate these inequalities
to other forms of social exclusion, and to propose areas for
policy action aimed at boosting labor market participation.
The remainder of the report is structured as follows.
Chapter two describes the role that jobs play in fostering
good living standards, productivity and social cohesion, and
contextualizes the discussion on jobs and participation in
the ten countries. Chapter three zooms in, highlighting
inequalities in labor force participation across demographic
groups. Chapter four shifts the focus to the factors
explaining unequal labor force participation across groups,
and discusses a policy agenda for these ten countries,
drawing on experiences from the rest of the world. Chapter
five concludes. |
