| description |
Many policy makers across Sub-Saharan
Africa, including in fragile and conflict-affectedsituations
(FCS), consider youth employment a central policy issue. As
the recent World Development Report (WDR) on jobs has
highlighted, jobs are a key driver of development(World Bank
2012). Jobs matter for living standards, productivity, as
well as social cohesion. Particularly in FCS, jobs mean more
than earnings; feelings of exclusion stem from a lack
ofreliable, quality employment, not simply income (Rebosio
and Romanova 2013). Volume 1 of this paper presents results
from the application of a novel qualitative toolkit in
Liberia, with the objective to improve the knowledge of the
constraints to entry and productivity among nonagricultural
household enterprises. It outlines lessons learned from the
application of this research and makes policy-relevant
findings on how to improve productivity in the sector in
Liberia. In addition, the report contains methodological
lessons that can inform the application of the toolkit in
other contexts. Volume 2 of this paper presents a global
review of the literature on household enterprises in FCS and
the detailed methodology and tools for the research. |
