Cohort size and youth employment outcomes

Wed, 04/30/2014 - 07:00 | Visitor (not verified)

This paper utilizes a cross-country panel of 83 developing countries to examine how changes in cohort size are correlated with subsequent employment outcomes for workers at different ages. The results depend on countries' level of development. In low-income countries, young adults that are born into smaller cohorts are less likely to work, but school attendance remains unchanged. In middle-income countries, young adults in smaller cohorts are less likely to be unemployed and more likely to work outside of agriculture.

Gender issues should be considered in the planning of livestock development programs. Unfortunately, rarely is the data available to show the diverse yet often complementary roles and responsibilities in livestock production and gender differences in terms of access and control of livestock. This challenges policy makers and donors in developing gender friendly policies and identifying investments in the sector that fosters asset build up and income generation for women through the livestock sector.
