Resumen
Descripción
Good quality jobs are key to
accelerating poverty reduction and strengthening social
cohesion in Togo. While Togo has made significant progress
in creating more good quality jobs, with robust growth
performance in the past decade, several jobs-related
challenges remain. Togo’s labor market is characterized by
high levels of informality and underemployment, low
productivity, and low-quality jobs. This difficult situation
is compounded by the demographic trend of large cohorts of
young people entering the labor market every year. As a
result of this trend, it is estimated that, beginning in
2024, Togo will need to create 200,000 new jobs every year
to absorb the influx of new entrants into the labor market.
As described in the companion document to this report, Togo
Jobs Diagnostic, a holistic approach to creating more and
better jobs should be applied looking at the macro-,
demand-, and supply side constraints. Solutions should focus
on creating new jobs, improving job quality and
productivity, and ensuring access to employment for
vulnerable segments of the population.
