Improving jobs outcomes—especially for
poor people—is at the center of Honduras' development
agenda. This report shows how jobs are related to
persistently high poverty and disappointing growth over the
last 20 years and suggests ways to reduce poverty and
encourage growth in the future. It is organized in three
main sections. The first section, Jobs, growth and poverty,
provides an overview of how growth and poverty trends relate
to Honduran jobs. The second section focuses on Labor supply
challenges, including the growth and quality of labor
supply; it analyses demographics, labor force participation
rates, education, and training. The third section turns to
Private sector growth analyzing factors influencing labor
demand in the private sector, discussing the investment
climate; distribution of job types (formal and informal)
across firms, sectors, and households; and public programs
to create better jobs for poor people. The report concludes
with a section summarizing Policy recommendations to improve
jobs outcomes in Honduras. |
