World Bank data from the LAC Equity Lab measures the share of male youth aged 15-24 who are both in school and employed. This indicator tracks the intersection of education and labor market participation for a specific demographic group. The dataset is part of the World Bank's Social Protection and Labor collection.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the 'share' metric over time to assess changes in concurrent schooling and employment for young males.
- Compare the male youth indicator against corresponding female data to study gender gaps in education-employment overlap.
- Model the relationship between this 'share' metric and other country-level economic indicators like GDP growth or unemployment rates.
- Use the age bracket (15-24) and gender (male) fields to segment labor force analysis for targeted policy evaluation.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative World Bank and LAC Equity Lab.
- Focuses on a clearly defined demographic: male population ages 15-24.
Limitations
- Specific row count, time range, and geographic coverage are unknown, limiting reproducibility.
- The dataset contains only one derived metric (share), requiring joins with other data for contextual analysis.
- Sample data and column details are unavailable, preventing assessment of data structure and completeness.
