Between 40 and 50 million new jobs need to be created in the region\u2019s countries over the next decade, and this implies that governments in the region should embark on a labour-intensive and job-creating growth trajectory. Special attention should be given to reducing the unemployment and emigration of skilled youth, and to integrating young women into the labour market. Policies that tackle the institutional and structural impediments to meaningful job creation should be pursued, together with public interventions in social protection and housing programmes that would reduce youth\u2019s social exclusion in the region.<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peacebuilding.no\/var\/ezflow_site\/storage\/original\/application\/327283a3ded583ce3a97b5d8cfd33e85.pdf\">Read the paper online<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- Facebook Page Plugin by Medust: http:\/\/medust.com -->\r\n\t\t<div class=\"fb-recommendations-bar\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.economistes-arabes.org\/fr\/jad-chaaban-youth-integration-and-job-creation-in-the-middle-east\/\" data-read-time=\"5\" data-side=\"\" data-action=\"like\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle East and North African region is currently faced with one of the toughest socioeconomic challenges in its modern history: a \u2018\u2018youth bulge\u2019\u2019 of almost 100 million young people, of which a quarter are unemployed.
