Outside In: Increasing Participation in the Labour Force

Globally, labour force participation rates have been declining, but Jamaica’s rates have been rising. However, 35% of the eligible working-age population remains outside the labour force.
The Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI), with funding from the HEART/ NSTA Trust, is launching its latest report titled “Outside In: Increasing Participation in the Labour Force.” 
The report examines the characteristics of Jamaica’s non-participants and evaluates policy options to encourage their engagement.
