The report provides a comprehensive diagnostic of the job challenge in the PT. It does so by (i) analyzing recent trends in labor market outcomes (employment and wages) and the implications for growth, poverty and social stability; (ii) linking labor market outcomes to the relative demand for labor, the types of jobs being created, as well as the underlying productive structure and spatial dimension of the economy; and (iv) looking at the external (Israeli-imposed restrictions) and internal factors limiting and distorting economic activity and job creation in the PT. Based on the diagnostic, the report then provides policy options to create more and better jobs for Palestinians. While recognizing that any long-term sustainable solution to the jobs challenge in the PT must involve the relaxation of Israeli-imposed restrictions, the focus of this report is on identifying opportunities and options for the Palestinian Authority to create more and better jobs in the PT. The policy discussion is organized around four key areas that the PA has some control over: (1) boosting technology-based services; (2) exploiting local specialization in traditional sectors by strengthening value chains; (3) connecting youth to jobs and removing barriers to female employment; and (4) building a partnership with the private sector, civil society and the international community for job creation.
