摘要

移动技术成本低、普及率高，通过促进年轻求职者获取就业信息，独特地解决了发展中国家劳动力市场效率低下的问题。一些简单的服务，如由巴勒斯坦-加拿大非政府组织Souktel开发的基于短信的“工作匹配”应用程序，通过向年轻求职者提供有关当地工作的实时信息，并将他们直接与雇主联系起来，改变了当地的劳动力市场。

Mobile phone job services: Linking developing-country youth with employers, via SMS

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.
