Regional Context
The South Asia Region (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) is at a crucial stage of development. Rapid economic growth, driven by urbanization and demographic dividend, has brought down poverty rates, but severe forms of exclusion and disparities based on ethnicity, caste, and gender remain. Rapid growth has also come with congestion and pollution in cities. South Asia is more than other regions affected by changes in temperature and extreme weather event. Additional challenges are that South Asia is underperforming in exports, has large informal sectors and low female labor force participation rates. All these challenges must be addressed to secure rapid growth in coming decades.
Private sector led growth, focused on investments in infrastructure, energy, logistics and cities are essential to generate the jobs needed to employ South Asia’s sizeable youth population. At the same time, the region needs to continue building human capital so that South Asia’s population is well equipped for the jobs of the future.

People Practice Group
The World Bank Group (WBG) is the largest provider of development finance and solutions for human development working with high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries to develop country-tailored solutions for human development (HD) under the themes of education, health, social protection, jobs and gender. The People PG coordinates with other Practice Groups to ensure a coordinated and integrated approach to development challenges, and through the World Bank Regional Units is expected to deliver the strongest and most pertinent support to our client countries.
Social protection programs, including social assistance, insurance, and services for the vulnerable, are key to reducing poverty and boosting resilience. They help build human capital and promote productive inclusion, while jobs are essential for poverty reduction and prosperity. The World Bank's Social Protection & Jobs (SP&J) Global Practice supports developing countries in these areas through strategies, financing, and program design for safety nets, advisory services for contributory schemes, labor market analysis, and integrated system designs for effective social program delivery.
The SPJ Global Practice is hiring an Extended Term Consultant in Islamabad to aid in program design and implementation, reporting to the Practice Manager for South Asia.
