Resumen
Descripción
The objective of this Fast Brief,
presented in two parts, is to illustrate several concrete
examples from Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Europe
and Central Asia (ECA) and Latin America and Caribbean (LAC)
of youth-focused Analytical and Advisory Activities (AAA),
investment lending, and grant-funded engagements, which can
inform the growing work program in the region. Despite all
the efforts to promote growth and significant investments in
education by Arab countries, a large segment of Arab youth
continues to remain outside of the mainstream of economic
and social life. In 2006, the MENA already exhibited the
highest youth unemployment rate in the World (24.6 percent
and 25.7 percent respectively) as well as the largest gender
gap in unemployment. Recent estimates predict that as a
result of the economic crisis, youth unemployment could
increase by a further 4.6 percent in the Middle East and up
to 4 percent in North Africa over the 2008-2009 periods, and
impact particularly on young women.
