Lebanon : Education, training and employment developments 2017
Abstract
The Lebanese labour market is characterised by low activity (38.7%) and employment rates (44.9%) and a large informal sector. It is challenged by a low participation of females (employment rate of 66.9% for males and 25.3% for females; activity rate of 55.4% for males and 23.5% for females) and high youth unemployment (18% for males and 20.4% for females). The low employment and low activity rates of females can be attributed to social, cultural and economic factors.
