Abstract
| |
| Interventions to support young workers have been broadly applied in both developed and developing economies alike, as concerns for unemployment and inactivity rates drive public and private resources to invest in youth. Despite comprehensive experiences around the world, very little is known about the determinants of success of youth employment interventions. In particular, what type of interventions work best and what are the key features in implementation design and targeting that prompt positive impacts on employment and earnings under different economic and institutional conditions. To respond to these questions, this paper uses a meta-analytical framework that examines the evaluation evidence collected by the Youth Employment Inventory, a World Bank initiative that compiles world-wide interventions designed to integrate youth into the labor market. The paper has five sections including this Introduction. Section B starts with a literature review of cross-country studies and meta-analyses of labor market programs. Whenever available, estimates on employment and earnings of young people are discussed. Section C provides a summary of the Youth Employment Inventory, including design, coverage, and main features. It describes the main type of interventions and findings based on a descriptive evaluation of the inventory's evidence. Section D displays the dataset of programs included in the meta-analysis, and describes the key variables into play. It also introduces the model, empirical results and sensitivity tests. Conclusions and implications are drawn in Section E. |
