The World Bank is partnering with the government of Nigeria to better understand how labor migration and skills partnerships can provide more and better jobs to Nigerian youth. One objective of this collaboration is to assess the feasibility of new bilateral labor agreements in chosen sectors, mirroring the Center for Global Development’s (CGD) Global Skill Partnership model. A joint CGD-World Bank report—“Expanding Legal Migration Pathways from Nigeria to Europe: From Brain Drain to Brain Gain”1—and a related brief 2 present the results of this work. The report outlines both the opportunity inherent within the growing (yet unemployed) youth population in Nigeria and the declining working-age population in Europe that is leading to widespread skill shortages. It then describes the Global Skill Partnership model and applies it to case studies in three sectors: nursing; information, communication, and technology (ICT); and this one, on construction. The demand for construction projects, particularly within middle-income countries, is rapidly increasing. By 2030, the global construction market is forecast to be worth $17.5 trillion, up by $8 trillion from today. This growth is creating huge skill shortages, both within Nigeria and Germany, which is slowing the productivity and competitiveness of construction firms. The following brief outlines a Global Skill Partnership between Nigeria and Germany within construction, including an overview of the training and migration landscape in both countries, the specific design of such a partnership, and risks and mitigation measures. It focuses on building skills to satisfy labor market demands in both countries, notably general skills for the housing sector in Nigeria, and, in addition, supervisory and specialized skills for the German market.
