Database of publications / Several aspects of youth education, gender equality and employment in the Caucasus and Central Asia

The purpose of this paper is to partially fill the existing gaps related to labour market situation of youth. The survey is based on the analysis of data provided by the national statistical offices of the countries in the sub-region, CIS Inter-State Statistical Committee, as well as international organizations (ILO, UNICEF, UNDP, World Bank). The survey also uses the results of comparative analysis made at the Sub-regional Workshop on Youth Employment (Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan, May-June 2006). Information obtained during discussions of tripartite partners from seven CIS countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Uzbekistan) allows to present the situation of youth in such areas as education, economic activity, unemployment, rates and quality of employment, as well as to highlight gender aspects of these problems.
