Abstract

employment creation unemployment low income Climate Change
This brief focuses on demand-side policies for promoting employment in LMCs. The shifting consensus on macroeconomic policy in advanced economies, alongside growing acceptance of industrial policy, provides an important opportunity for reconsideration of such policies. The primer draws from a structured review of the literature covering key concepts relevant to formulating demand-side policies for employment promotion in LMCs (Aboobaker and Michell 2022). The aim is to lay the conceptual foundations for a policy debate on employment promotion in LMCs.
