The World Bank is pleased to organize and host an e-mail based electronic
discussion on the issue of "Employment for Disabled Youth".  The focus is
on
the
good practices of job creation for disabled youth worldwide.

The discussion is hosted by DevForum - The World Bank Platform for

The e-discussion is designed to solicit information on good practices for
job
creation to be used as guidance for including disabled youth in the
development
agenda for all of those that have a stake in the development process,
including
development agencies, World Bank staff, government officials, civil society
organizations and policy-makers.

The e-discussion is an important component of a study on "Employment &
Youth
with Disabilities: Sharing Knowledge and Practices", organized and
coordinated
by the World Bank, in collaboration with Bocconi University (Milano),
Cornell
University (NY), the Employer's Forum on Disability, Workability
International
and the participation of the ILO and the Office of Disability Employment
Policy
(ODEP) of the US Department of Labor.

The agenda hopes to examine four key perspectives of the issue:

Week 1 June 1-4: Supply (disabled youth - moderated by Bocconi University -
Milan);
Week 2 June 7-11: Demand (employers - moderated by Employer's Forum on
Disability);
Week 3 June 14-18: Other actors (parents/families, schools, training
centers,
DPOs and others - moderated by Workability International);
Week 4 June 21-25: Policy-makers (national and local governments -
moderated
by
