Using Data to Advance the 2030 Agenda: Recommendations for the G20
Anirban Sarma, Debosmita Sarkar Policy Brief
Development and Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Habitats
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
International agencies have expressed concerns about the welfare of youth not in employment, education, or training (NEET) considering unprotected work in the formal sector, informal employment in the informal sector, and skill gaps, among others. Alternatives to inclusively harness the demographic advantage are required for a better transition to decent work security. This Policy Brief recommends harnessing the strategy of Development and Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Habitats (DESH). It can be modelled for the G20 with reference to India’s Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), designed for resource- poor rural populations in need of employment. DESH will aim to give employment to skilled NEET youth for guaranteed job days a year against a country’s prioritised shelf of sustainable habitat work.
