This issue of the Asia-Pacific labour market update provides information on trends in economic growth, job growth, youth employment and job quality in the Asia Pacific region. The overall picture is that economic growth is moderating as the global environment weakens; job growth is mostly decelerating, and decent jobs for young people remain a major challenge. Inset boxes discuss policies to boost jobs for youth, improving job quality in Vietnam, and strengthening social protection.
