Jobs are vital for individuals to work
their way out of poverty and for promoting shared
prosperity. Somalia has few formal social safety nets, and
the country is steadily consolidating peace and rebuilding
state institutions following decades of conflict. Putting in
place a jobs strategy as well as adaptive social protection
systems are key to strengthening citizen confidence in state
institutions. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) seeks
to generate economic growth to create jobs and promote
economic inclusion, including opportunities for youth, the
most excluded and vulnerable group in Somalia. Decent jobs
are central to poverty reduction, and have far reaching
implications for stability and security, empowerment, and
household resilience. Central to any efforts to curb poverty
is the creation of enough decent jobs to absorb workers,
especially youth. Youth represent an integral part of the
economically productive population, possessing many years of
productive life before them. The youth bulge and demographic
expansion in Somalia suggest a pressing need to create jobs
for its youth while equipping future workers with the right
set of skills. This report examines the profile of Somali
household workers, and identify job characteristics and
constraints for creating more and inclusive jobs. The study
also evaluates youth employment, patterns of school-to-work
transitions, and how well the Somali educational system
prepares young people for the job market. |
