More and Better Jobs in South Asia
This book is divided into seven
chapters. Chapter one is an overview. Chapter two reviews
South Asia's recent track record with regard to the
quantity and quality of job creation. It traces the
relationship of such job creation mostly to overall economic
growth and attempts to answer what needs to be done to meet
South Asia's employment challenge. Chapter three
discusses the key features of labor markets in South Asia,
including where the better jobs are, who holds them, and the
implications for the employment challenge ahead. Chapter
four reviews the business environment constraints affecting,
in particular, those firms that have expanded employment and
discusses policy options for overcoming the most binding
business constraints in South Asia. Chapter five analyzes
the dimensions of the education and a skill challenge in the
region and discusses policy priorities for improving the
quality and skills of graduates of education and training
systems. Chapter six reviews the role of labor market
policies and institutions in encouraging job creation and
protecting workers in the formal and informal economy and
discusses possible directions for labor market policies,
including options to increase the access of informal sector
workers to programs that help them manage labor market
shocks and improve their future earnings potential. Finally,
chapter seven reviews the key constraints to job creation
and the policy priorities for creating more and better jobs
in conflict-affected areas.
