This publication uses data from the World Bank's STEP Household Skills Survey to explore patterns of educational mismatch in 12 developing countries. Workers are considered 'mismatched' if their personal education is different than that required by their jobs. The report finds that over-education is common across diverse developing contexts.

This review provides an overview of the impacts of socio-emotional skill development programs in developed and developing countries, including findings from evaluations of early childhood, in-school, and out of school programs. Findings highlight characteristics and impacts of successful (and less successful) programs.
