Youth employment is one of today's major challenges, affecting both developed and developing countries. The World Bank's 2013 World Development Report found that 620 million are economically "idle" (not in education, employment or looking for work) -- with estimates reaching up to a staggering 70 or 80 percent in the Pacific. But what is causing youth un- and under-employment? What is the role of public policy, and can we better engage the private sector in abating the problem?
