World Development Report 2013

The World Development Report (WDR) 2013 App for iPad makes this key World Bank flagship on jobs accessible and mobile. It lets you easily find all major discussions as well as separate boxes, tables, maps, and figures by key message, region, topic, or several dozen keywords such as “job creation,” “unemployment,” “labor market,” and “policy making.”

With full-screen viewing of figures as well as sharing and “favorites” features, the WDR 2013 App for iPad enables development professionals, journalists, students, CSOs, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the connection between jobs and economic and social development to get the most out of this year’s WDR.

The WDR has been produced on an annual basis since 1978 and is the World Bank’s major analytical publication. This edition looks at the connection betweens jobs and economic and social development. Jobs are at the top of the development agenda, and everyone from policy makers and business leaders to academics and activists is asking difficult questions. This edition offers answers to some of these questions by looking at jobs as drivers of development.
