Title: Demographic and Labour Market Trends in Yemen
Abstract: Yemen’s development depends on the government’s ability to generate employment, promote education and skills development, and provide decent employment conditions for its young generation and women. This, in turn, requires a strong commitment to social and economic reform, and the transformation of state institutions.
The increase in labour market entrants means that the number of additional jobs the Yemeni economy would have to create on a yearly average to maintain an employment-to-population ratio of 75 per cent equates to 150,000 jobs a year. In this situation, Yemen’s economy is evidently struggling to absorb the increasing number of new entrants into the labour market.
