Current employment policy programmes and instruments in Mali are not defined by economic sectors, regions, type of actor and nature of barriers. It is clear that unemployment does not affect women and young people to the same extent, depending on the economic sectors/branches of activity, regions, type of labour market player and nature of barriers. Identifying and taking into account these specificities in employment policy programmes and instruments can help to promote the occupational integration of young people and women in Mali.
