Resumen
Descripción
Global economic shocks coupled with
natural disasters left most Caribbean countries with zero to
negative growth and high unemployment rates. The Caribbean
region was strongly affected by the last great financial
crisis, which resulted in a regional average of zero
economic growth in 2010. The purpose of this note is to
evaluate the nature of youth unemployment in order to
propose policy options to address it. It is organized in
three sections. The first section describes the trends and
patterns of total unemployment. The second section focuses
on youth unemployment. The third and final section discusses
policy considerations.
