Job Growth in South Asia

As the labor force in South Asia continues to grow, it is important to study the trends of employment, the changing job market, and the quality of the jobs that are being created in the region. A recent World Bank study entitled, More and Better Jobs in South Asia, provides a critical analysis of the challenges that the region continues to face. Please join us for a moderated panel discussion on this important and timely subject with leading World Bank economists and CSIS experts.
