Description
Summary:Notes in this report present the nature of jobs in each sector (except the public sector), the challenges to improving these sectors, and recommended policies to develop sector-specific jobs strategies. Building on the government’s Myanmar Sustainable Development Program (MSDP), which provides a framework for jobs policy reform, this report identifies priority area that could have the greatest impact in each sector in promoting this framework. The accompanying Overview document presents the overall jobs picture based on this report. Note 1 addresses the overall Myanmar macroeconomic environment for jobs, while Note two profiles the Myanmar labor force. Notes three, four, five, and six explore jobs in agriculture, household enterprises, the private sector, and through migration. The Notes are designed to be standalone documents that can be used to inform discussions with appropriate Ministries or stakeholders.
