Despite high and increasing unemployment rates, employers in the region are facing difficulties to find workers whose competences and skills fit their employment needs. The study first surveys international best practices for the delivery of employment services and then reviews the provision of these services in a selected group of countries in the MENA region, with a focus on public provision through existing public employment agencies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Employment agencies -- Middle East Employment agencies -- Africa, North Unemployed youth -- Middle East Unemployed youth -- Africa, North POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Public Policy -- Social Security.
