Building the foundations for inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Cambodia

Cambodia will need to diversify the economy providing productive employment opportunities for the 275,000 youths reaching the working age population annually if the returns to labour are to be increased. It also needs to make agriculture more productive to provide higher returns to labour to young people who would remain employed in rural jobs. There is a need to enhance long-term savings to build-up financial assets and strengthen household resilience and set the foundations for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
