Project description: Bangladesh’s youth, making up over a third of the labor force, face high unemployment due to skill gaps, education-employment mismatches, and systemic barriers. The July Movement has sparked reforms offering a chance for transformative change. This study will use two panel surveys to track how youth perceptions of these reforms evolve over six months. It will assess expectations and progress in key areas like education, employment, governance, and climate justice.
