Good Jobs for Inclusive Growth in Central and West Asia
- Details
The International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University has signed a contract with the Asian Development Bank to contribute to a study on: “Good Jobs for Inclusive Growth in Central and West Asia”. Since obtaining independence in the early 1990s, Central and West Asian countries have made noticeable progress. However, recent economic disruptions, mainly caused by the structural decline in energy prices and the protracted devaluation of currencies in the region, are affecting jobs, remittances, and people’s general well-being. The economic slowdown is also accelerating the underlying trend of increasing inequality, limiting countries’ ability to pursue inclusive growth. Other structural issues such as the lack of economic diversification, a sluggish private sector, and the mismatch between skills and labor demand further complicate the picture for policymakers.
