The World Bank’s long-term partnership with Argentina has most recently resulted in work with the administration of President Javier Milei to develop a new World Bank Group Partnership Framework for 2025-2029. It aims to contribute to poverty reduction by promoting private sector-led growth that generates quality jobs.
Projections indicate that in the next 10 years, nearly 2 million young people will reach working age in Argentina, but jobs will be available for only half of them. Faced with this challenge, the World Bank and Argentina are promoting job creation, particularly for young people, women, and informal workers.
The main areas of the World Bank Group's program with Argentina include promoting productive private investment, creating jobs, strengthening human capital, and improving connectivity.
