This report presents evidence concerning links between educational attainment and employment outcomes for young adults (aged 25-34 years) in 11 developing countries. The first question we address in the Report is the role of education level on the participation of young adults in the labour force. We look specifically at correlations between education level, on one hand, and the labour force participation and unemployment rates, on the other. The second question we look at is the impact of education level on the job characteristics and job conditions of employed young adults. Four indicators are assessed in addressing this question – status in employment, sector of employment, employment conditions and wage levels. Taken together, these four indicators offer a general view of how education is related to the quality of jobs held by young adults in the 11 countries. While caution should be exercised in drawing generalized conclusions based on descriptive evidence alone, the results presented in this Report point to the importance of education to the employment outcomes of young adults. Educated young adults are generally more likely to be in the labour force and are also more likely to secure jobs of good quality in the 11 countries.
