How can the World Bank Group help? • The WBG well positioned to help the development community, working with partners, to address the global jobs challenge. • WBG working closely with other international institutions (ILO, OECD, WBCSD, WEF), private-sector oriented IFIs (e.g. joint communiqué of 28 IFIs on creating more and better jobs), and bilateral donors • Next steps: to focus on • developing more context specific approaches at the country, sector and company level, improving diagnostic tools , availability of adequate & timely data, and broader knowledge sharing. • Special Focus on inclusive jobs - jobs for women, youth, jobs in FCS
