We recently published a guide to facilitating youth-led labor market assessments. The guide draws on our experience with piloting this type of assessment in Uganda. We’d like to share what we learned about creating a mutually beneficial engagement with youth, designing the research process with the end in mind, selecting the right partners, and helping youth use the experience to improve their job prospects.

Attribution/Author:This research was made possible by IREX through its Center for Applied Learning and Impact in collaboration with Makerere University. Thanks to the youth researchers and youth research contributors, as well as the implementing team that trained and supported the youth during the pilot of the Youth-Led Labor Market Assessment framework. Special thanks to Makerere University, which provided the space, administrative support, and local knowledge expertise for the initiative. The pilot would not have been possible without the contributions of youth and employers in the trade sector across Kampala, Uganda. Their cooperation and willingness to provide valuable information enabled a productive and meaningful research process.
