funding estimates for vocational education
|
Timor-Leste has a considerable gap between its demand for skills and the current provision of opportunities to receive vocational education and training. Using some simple assumptions, it is possible to estimate the amount of funds needed to close this gap. Dr Richard Curtain's 2005 paper provides an early estimate.

the case for investing in young people
|
This document is a UNFPA - United Nations Population Fund - publication by Dr Richard Curtain. It focuses on efforts to reduce poverty and presents seven arguments for why national public policy makers in developing countries should give more attention to young people, if these efforts are to be successful. This paper offers a conceptual framework to work out what arguments and supporting evidence in relation to young people are likely to be most appropriate to apply in the context of developing or refining a national poverty reduction strategy for a developing country.
