NEET youth and young adults in Israel Paula Kahan
This document discusses NEET youth and young adults in Israel, outlining characteristics, needs, and policies. It finds that the NEET rate in Israel is higher than the OECD average, particularly for Arabs, Arab women, and those with lower education levels. A survey found many NEETs aged 23-26 lacked education or work credentials and experience. While most expressed interest in working or studying, many needed support. Existing Israeli policies aim to strengthen education, provide counseling and training, and support vulnerable populations through initiatives like employment centers and apprenticeship programs. The document calls for expanding opportunities for education, work experience, and assistance for disadvantaged NEETs at risk of long-term disengagement.

The document proposes the R.U.E.M.P.O.W.E.R.E.D. model for women's empowerment in India. It aims to strengthen opportunities for girls' education, guarantee sexual/reproductive health rights, and invest in infrastructure to reduce women's time burdens. The model would also revise taxation for women, guarantee property/inheritance rights, increase political representation, and combat violence against women. It estimates that implementing the comprehensive model over 10 years could cost around $4000-5000 per capita annually and would require committed government and NGO support, technical/financial assistance, and accountability measures. The goal is to achieve true empowerment, equality, and justice for women in India
Furthering womens empowerment through abour force participation 2016 41p
This document discusses women's empowerment through labor force participation in Latin America. It finds that while female labor force participation has increased in Latin America, progress has stagnated since 2000 and large gaps remain compared to men. Participation varies widely across countries and groups of women. Younger, less educated, rural, indigenous and older women participate at lower rates.
Key barriers to women's participation in the labor market include insufficient education and training, cultural norms regarding women's roles, and time constraints due to household responsibilities. Expanding early childhood education and care services could help address time constraints. Public policies and programs need to target the specific needs of vulnerable groups in order to reduce barriers to participation and achieve greater gender equality goals.

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT IN UGANDA.docx - Hilda Namakula- UCT
Uganda has one of the youngest populations in the world, with over 78% under 30 years old. However, youth unemployment remains a major challenge, with estimates that 64-83% of the unemployed are youth between 18-30 years old. The causes of high youth unemployment are multifaceted, including inadequate job opportunities, lack of skills alignment between youth and available jobs, limited access to resources, and a growing labor force outpacing job growth. In response, the Ugandan government has implemented policies like the National Youth Policy and Skilling Uganda Strategic Plan to address the problem.

- There is a perceived gender imbalance in most workplaces, with women making up less than half of employees and top management.
Gender inequality & development
This document discusses gender inequality and development approaches over time. It covers topics such as:
1) The human development approach focuses on improving quality of life through health, education, and standard of living. Economic growth alone does not guarantee development.
2) Early approaches included trickle-down theory and growth with social justice. Recent approaches include human development, gender and development, and women's empowerment.
3) Gender inequalities exist due to discrimination and social norms. Reducing inequalities requires conventions, economic and legal reforms, and women's empowerment and agency.

Socioeconomic Status of Women in Lesotho
Abstract: This paper explores the socio-economic situation of women in Lesotho. Based on secondary data obtained from Bureau of Statistics, Land Administration Authority, country analytical annual reports ministerial reports as well as Lesotho government website; it analyzes the status of Basotho women with regard to access and control over economic opportunities. Main indicators discussed include access and control of resources like in education and land ownership, participation in decision making e.g. political participation. The issue of women and discriminatory laws is also addressed. This study is restricted to the relevant and available data and information on access on August 2015. The statistical data in this paper suggest that female is a dominating gender as far as land ownership is concerned. With regard to economic decision making and political participation, there is gender imbalance with men as a dominating gender. Women have been victims of discriminatory laws which denied them opportunity to own or inherit land and immovable property and hold senior positions in companies. These laws were later amended although gaps still exists. The finding shows that Lesotho has relatively high literacy and net primary school enrolment, but with a reversed gender gap signifying discrepancy to the advantage of girls. Gender related policies should be formulated and implemented so as to increase women’s representation and inclusiveness in political participation and economic decision-making. Given the responsibilities of women, improvement of women’s socio economic status in all sectors will not only be of essence to women alone, but also families and communities as well. This will also enhance women empowerment and contribute to inclusive sustainable economic growth, reduce poverty and social injustices and other forms of inequalities.Measures need to be developed to improve access to education for boys so as to ensure a balanced human development outcome. Amendments on Laws of Lerotholi should be a well understood public knowledge.

Policies and Practices for Partnership
The document summarizes key data about Armenia and discusses its policies and practices for partnership between education, employment, and social services sectors. It notes that Armenia has adopted poverty reduction strategies including increasing public spending on education and social services. Partnership structures have been established between education institutions and businesses, but challenges remain such as rigid legal frameworks and a lack of action plans to strengthen these partnerships.
Social Protection and Social Exclusion
This document discusses social protection, social exclusion, and gender mainstreaming. It defines social protection as policies and programs that protect people from risks and vulnerabilities, such as those implemented by the ILO, ADB, and World Bank. The global objective of social protection is to reduce poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion while improving health and education. Pakistan's national social protection strategy aims to develop an integrated system covering all populations, especially the poor and vulnerable. However, despite steps toward gender equality, women remain underrepresented in governance and lag behind men in literacy, labor participation, income, and other indicators according to the data presented. True reform requires developing both women and men and creating an enabling environment institutionally and systemically.
