National Employment Dialogue

In light of the growing employment challenge in Afghanistan the UNDP contracted ILO’s technical expertise to launch a National Employment dialogue with all national stakeholders. The efforts of the past ten years had not yet begun to address the growing needs and the transition, and therefore reduced international funding, was foreseen to potential exacerbate an already difficult situation. Out of the working population of over 12 million and a labour force participation of just over 8 million (NRVA 2007/2008), 7.1 per cent were unemployed whilst 48,2 per cent were underemployed and 77 per cent were in vulnerable employment. With 49 per cent of the young population being under the age of 15, Afghanistan sees nearly half a million individuals wishing to enter the labour market every year.
