2025: Resilient Economies, Smart Development, and More Jobs

The World Bank Group is working with countries to create the conditions for progress, opportunity, and resilience, with a focus on one powerful lever: jobs. This was our year of job creation, as we placed it at the center of our development efforts and made it an explicit objective of every project-for the first time in our history. Jobs are not only the surest path out of poverty, but also provide dignity, hope, and stability.
