THE APPROACH
The JDS Practitioners Network aims to bring together specialists from across the globe and across professional disciplines, who are working on jobs diagnostics and are developing jobs strategies.
Priorities include:
- Promote learning about and facilitate dissemination of the World Bank’s Jobs Diagnostic tools and strategies
- Develop jobs benchmarks and typologies that help diagnose the different jobs problems countries face and observe the stage of economic transformation they have reached
- Support the development community’s collective understanding of jobs and economic transformation (JET) by identifying successful transformers and highlighting the policies and programs that supported their transformation
Data, Tools and Guidance
This resource contains disaggregated and comparable global jobs indicators for all countries for which the World Bank has standardized labor variables from household surveys. It also includes the latest data tools and guidelines produced by the World Bank’s Jobs Group for country Jobs Diagnostics and our latest reports and standardized outputs.
Database
The Global Jobs Indicators Database (JoIn) presents – for 150 countries- more than 60 of the standardized labor supply indicators which are most commonly used in country Jobs Diagnostics. These cover socio-demographics, labor force status and employment type, employment composition by sector and occupation, education level completed, hours worked, and earnings.
