Supporting Policy and Regulatory Reforms to Create More and Better Jobs
jcrdescription
Over the next 10–15 years, over 1 billion young people in developing countries will reach working age. They deserve the income, stability, and hope that only a job can provide. Creating more and better jobs will depend not just on investing in the necessary physical and human infrastructure and the right skills, but also on ensuring businesses can grow and hire. Across countries, the reforms that matter most are often the most practical: streamlining licensing, reducing compliance costs, expanding access to finance, securing land rights, and digitalizing processes to improve transparency and speed. The right government policies that foster a business-enabling environment can unlock private investment and drive job creation at scale for today's and tomorrow's workers.

Over the next 10–15 years, over 1 billion young people in developing countries will reach working age. They deserve the income, stability, and hope that only a job can provide.

Creating more and better jobs will depend not just on investing in the necessary physical and human infrastructure and the right skills, but also on ensuring businesses can grow and hire.

Across countries, the reforms that matter most are often the most practical: streamlining licensing, reducing compliance costs, expanding access to finance, securing land rights, and digitalizing processes to improve transparency and speed.

The right government policies that foster a business-enabling environment can unlock private investment and drive job creation at scale for today's and tomorrow's workers.
