First, they face age-specific barriers in the labor market, such as lack of work experience and limited professional networks.

These realities need to be considered for program design and implementation. Youth employment policies and interventions should therefore be sensitive to the specific needs and preferences of young people. 2020-07-16T20:59:44Z 2020-07-16T20:59:44Z 2020-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/273531592973030076/Making-Employment-Services-and-Active-Measures-Sensitive-to-the-Needs-of-Young-People-Recommendations-for-Youth-Employment-Programs-in-Kosovo-Technical-Note http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34135 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Social Protection Study Europe and Central Asia Kosovo
