青年失业问题，国际征文及短片创作比赛

The World Bank and its partners invite young people to participate in an International Essay and Video Competition: "Youth Unemployment". Young people aged 18-25 are invited to share experience and ideas on these questions:

1. How does youth unemployment affect you, your country, town or local community?

2. What can you do, working together with your peers, to find a sustainable solution for job seekers through youth entrepreneurship? Think specifically about the barriers youths face in the labor market and how to tackle difficulties in accessing capital for business startups.

The competition is open for nationals of ALL countries of the world, students and non-students alike, aged 18-25. Students enrolled in Ph.D. courses are, however, not eligible to participate.

Best essay finalists will participate in the Final Jury in Stockholm, Sweden, in May 2010, and attend the Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE). The World Bank will cover the cost of travel and accommodation for the finalists. Awards: 1st prize: 3,000 USD; 2nd prize: 2,000 USD; 3rd prize: 1,000 USD.
