Public Lecture Series: Labor security for the Aruban youth
Description
While existing domestic studies have primarily focused on youth job opportunities, this policy paper goes beyond traditional metrics by assessing youth labor security in Aruba. Explicitly, it examines income protection, voice representation, and labor market security. Utilizing microdata from the Labor Force Survey, the Central Bank of Aruba’s Youth Labor Security Survey, and online scraping data for labor market tightness, this chapter evaluates these three dimensions relative to developing and developed economies. From these findings the policy paper presents key policy recommendations.
