Latin American Youth in Transition: A Policy Paper on Youth Unemployment in Latin America
By Caroline Fawcett (07/02, En, Es) See also Social Development
This working paper is being published with the sole objective of contributing to the debate on a topic of importance to the region, and to elicit comments and suggestions from interested parties. This paper has not gone through the Department's peer review process or undergone consideration by the SDS Management Team. As such, it does not reflect the official position of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Youth unemployment is a lengthy process where youth move from unemployment to schooling, unpaid employment and low-wage unskilled employment, living in the shadows of the broader labor market demand and wage dynamics. The paper tries to capture these youth dynamics and their impact on the determinants and policies of youth unemployment.
