<\/a> One in four youth in the Arab world is unemployed, and our failure to include women in the workforce is to blame: <\/strong>As youth unemployment reaches 25% in the Arab world, the IMF is urging further action on inclusive growth: \u201cThe Arab region has the highest level of youth unemployment in the world, averaging 25%, and more than 27 mn young people will enter the labor market in the region over the next five years,\u201d IMF Middle East and Central Asia Director Jihad Azour said in a speech in Lebanon last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An IMF report out on Thursday doesn\u2019t mince words <\/strong>on what it sees as one of the primary cause: gender inequality<\/strong>. If the gender gap in employment was narrowed \u201cfrom triple to double the average for other emerging markets and developing economies,\u201d the region\u2019s economic growth could have doubled in the past decade, gaining USD 1 tn in cumulative output, said the report. \u201cWomen in the region are three times less likely than men to be in the labour force, while the level of joblessness among young women is nearly 36%, rising to 62% in Saudi Arabia,\u201d the IMF said, according to the FT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Financial inclusion, education are key to inclusive growth, says Azour:<\/strong> \u201cFinancial inclusion, including the use of FinTech, is an important tool for enabling people, as approximately 70% of the adults in the region do not have bank accounts, he said in his speech. Improving fiscal spending on education, \u201cwhich today amounts to only 11% of GDP in the Middle East, compared to 19% in the developing countries of Europe,\u201d would also help bridge the gender employment gap, he added. His other recommended policies for improving employment for women are your standard IMF-prescribed policies of subsidy cuts, improving the business climate, and a social safety net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
