Sorry 75% of men*
Don’t shame economics by calling yourself economist...IMF EP hired 75% of women on average and world average sex ratio is 1:1. Now I wonder if IMF has a quota for male.
73% women hired and you believe in no quotas? Talk about being naive. Good luck at the WB and remember: you probably weren't even the best out of your batch. Others, far more experienced and smarter could not make it due to the ridiculous policies.
btw, there are no such things as quotas at the Bank
That's the correct average of make to females in the population you dimwit. Tell me, in your graduate program what was the MF ratio?

If you refer to more research, girls are better at exams, at least in my country so more girls in PhD especially in social sciences. I went back to the placement report of my year and counted carefully. My year in my department was 9 women and 5 men.

I’m sorry but I’m personally from a crappy country as you white people can imagine and one of the poorest regions in the country. My parents have never left my country. I fighted all the way through. But if this kind of thinking makes you feel better, I’m more proud of myself. Cheers.
Luckily, the YP is not just for white men who studied economics. But for people from diverse backgrounds and origins. And the world is changing. Get over it. Luckily women and Africans kept applying to the YP despite the fact that for decades they represented a small proportion of the people hired. They helped and continue to help make the world a better place, and they are not les talented than others.If they are "not less talented" than others, why do they need quotas to enter? Why a similar institution (IMF) without quotas hires much less of these profiles?
The WB is not a charity: its purpose is not to provide jobs for highly privileged and incompetent daughters of top officials in crappy countries but to hire the best people for the job.
Be honest five seconds: the "minorities" hired by the WB comes from highly privileged background in Africa, Latin America and India, and they take the job of much more capable white middle-class hardworking guys.
"Fighted"
Yet you can't even spell correctly. You definitely deserve this job though...
So many people wasting their time here have nothing to do in an international institution like the WB. I don't even quite understand why they apply, when there are all these quota for white stupid men in economics tenure positions. And luckily, the WB doesn't hire them :D

Unfortunately, this econjobrumos forum is getting too toxic.
That's a terrible idea

I don't know how YP people feel when they realize that they don't deserve their job... Either they have the right background, either they knew someone at the Bank who pushed their application.
They literally take the job of much better people. Talking about reducing poverty, they should first resign

Do not forget that you must show that you have these competences through your CV, essay, short summaries etc.

YP is ALL clients and operations. If you don't think this is your jam, don't bother. YP is NOT RESEARCH.
I think lots of people forget this, thinking you can get in at WB and then do what you want. YP IS OPERATIONS.
This is actually great advice. Most people forget that, hence the resentment after failing or not getting matched after the interview. The bank is gradually changing and becoming even more operation oriented. After the whole Romer episode and due to some other internal changes there has been a gradual scaling down of the research department. Plus, the research department usually hires directly from the market in any case.
