A systematic review by the World Bank and the International Labour Organization (ILO) combines results from evaluations of 220 youth-focused active labor market programs (ALMPs) conducted around the world since 1990. The evidence shows that investments in labor market programs for young people pay off: ALMPs significantly improve their employment and earnings prospects, particularly in Low- and Middle-income countries. Youth at greatest risk of labor market exclusion often benefit the most. To guide future program design, the report identifies features of ALMPs that are associated with positive impacts on youth.
