| Summary: | This paper develops a general framework
to inform the design of a new generation of jobs lending
operations. The paper discusses the rationale for developing
jobs focused lending operations with specific targets in
terms of job creation, job quality, and labor markets
outcomes for vulnerable population groups. It reviews the
current portfolio of jobs-flagged lending operations,
discusses the limitations of existing interventions, and
outlines options to optimize countries lending portfolios
and develop new, integrated, jobs lending operations on the
basis of jobs diagnostics and jobs strategies. The paper
provides examples of innovative projects that are currently
under preparation or implementation, including jobs
investment projects that link supply-side and demand side
interventions; jobs Program for Results (PforRs), and jobs
Development Policy Lending. The final section describes the
types of monitoring and evaluation systems that these new
projects would require to track jobs outcomes. |
