This one-day course will focus on the links between employment, gender equality and shared growth. It will give practical examples of how a focus on careful analysis of employment and gender has improved the quality and relevance of World Bank Analytical and Advisory Activities (AAA).
The first session will review the empirical evidence on the importance of employment and gender quality for growth and poverty reduction, emphasizing both what we know and where knowledge gaps remain. A second session will present new work on identifying a parsimonious set of labor market indicators which adequately reflects the complexity of labor market exchanges in LICs. The next two sessions will share experiences on incorporating analysis of employment and gender equality in key Bank Economic and Sector Work (ESW): country economic memoranda, poverty assessments, share growth strategies, combined poverty-gender-social assessments. Task team leaders and analysts will share practical experiences from recent work. Finally, the last session will examine the intended and sometimes unintended impacts of labor regulations.
