Youth Labor Index for Low-Income Countries now available as an interactive web tool
The index offers a holistic statistical picture of the labor market strength of individual developing countries, with an explicit focus of the quality of work available to the growing youth population.
The expected boom of the youth, working-age population in lower-middle and low-income countries demands a better understanding and measurement of the youth labor market. The Youth Labor Market Index for Low Income Countries (YLILI) does just that. The index combines 12 indicators into three dimensions: transition, working conditions and education. The indicators are especially designed to measure youth labor market conditions in formal and informal economies. YLILI can be used by policy makers to get a sense on how far their country is from the ideal state. Additionally, they can see their relative position compared to other countries. The YLILI-webtool assists users in these comparisons and offers access to the underlying data: external pagehttps://nadel.shinyapps.io/ylili/
