  • Tableaux et Figures de : Jobs For Growth
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    Jobs are essential for the growth of individuals and countries alike. Achieving personal fulfillment is harder without a job, just as an economy as a whole cannot develop without the impetus of the labor market. These two perspectives unquestionably go hand in hand: from the individual perspective, finding a good job is a legitimate aspiration for anyone who wishes to support oneself and one's family; from the societal perspective, creating more and better jobs is essential to the achievement of lasting and equitable growth.

  • Données Associées à : Effets du Développement de l’Électrification Rurale
    Dataset

    By Energy Division (VPS/INE/ENE)
    What do we know about the effects of improved access to electricity? Does the research tell a unified story?

Overall, the literature finds substantial welfare gains, which tend to be greatest for women and small firms. On average, electrification leads increases of around 7% in school enrollment, 25% in employment, and 30% in incomes. However, the estimates vary widely, with many studies finding no effects, indicating weak links in the empirical literature. This review suggests that addressing the sources of such variance could be a means to fill the persistent knowledge gaps and to improve the effectiveness of electrification policies.
