Abstract
With its low cost and high penetration rates, mobile technology is uniquely poised to address developing-country labor market inefficiencies, by boosting young job-seekers access to employment information. Simple services like the SMS-based “job matching” application developed by Palestinian-Canadian NGO Souktel have transformed local labor markets--by giving young job-seekers real-time information about local jobs, and connecting them directly with employers.
