Jobs – The Path to Prosperity

^{GO TO SPEAKERS}

With 1.2 billion young people entering the workforce in the coming decades—and far too few formal jobs available—the urgency of finding scalable and sustainable solutions has never been greater.

This event tackles one of the defining and complex challenges of our time: how to meet the stable employment aspirations of the developing world's fast-growing youth population.

Through powerful stories of young entrepreneurs, dialogue with private sector executives, and insights from World Bank Group leadership, the session will explore what it will take to drive job creation at scale as a core objective of building sustainable, equitable societies. From innovation to investment, skills to sectors, this event will be a moment to catalyze collective action for a future where every young person has a pathway to decent work.

The event will take place on April 22 at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C. and will be broadcast on World Bank Live with interpretation in Arabic, French and Spanish.
