In 2015, the World Bank embarked on a
collaborative effort to understand and address the jobs
challenge in Mindanao through the Mindanao Jobs Report
(MJR). Good jobs — jobs that raise real income and lift
people out of poverty — were needed for more than two
million Mindanawons who were either unemployed or
underemployed at the time of writing. In addition, large
cohorts of youth would enter the labor force in the next few
years and better jobs were needed for the many Mindanawons
who were currently employed informally and who accounted for
more than half of total employment in Mindanao. Following
extensive consultations with many of Mindanao's leaders
and stakeholders, the report came up with recommendations
around the three areas, namely: (1) raising agricultural
productivity and improving farm-to-market connectivity; (2)
boosting human development; and (3) addressing drivers of
conflict and fragility and building up institutions in
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and
conflict-affected areas. |
