Youth Skills for Youth Employment
A Policy Perspective
This policy brief is based on a research study titled “Skills Gap and Youth Employment in Bangladesh: An Exploratory Analysis”, which explored the skills that are most highly demanded in Bangladesh’s labour market. It explores policy options to resolve labour-related challenges to achieving economic growth by identifying the skills required in the labour market of Bangladesh, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), so that resources can be invested in the development of such skills in order to increase earnings for workers and improve overall tightness of the labour market. The study has been implemented by the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) in collaboration with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Bangladesh.
