The social gains of involving young Timorese in productive and decent employment would also have immense welfare benefits for the country, primarily by keeping youth away from indulging in violent activities. The 2006 ILO Report on Global Employment Trends for Youth employment states “idle youths create a sense of vulnerability, uselessness and redundancy.” This can have a direct impact on the potential for violence and crime, thereby destabilizing socio stability.
