        Summary
        This thesis researches how corporations in Myanmar create youth empowering opportunity structures, despite the costs of investing in low-skilled workers and the alternative of hiring high-skilled workers from abroad. The thesis analyses the situation before and after the start of the transitional development. Corporations, willingly or unwillingly, create youth empowering opportunity structures by hiring and educating Burmese youth. There is rationale behind the creation of youth empowering opportunity structures by corporations. Several influences affect corporations to act in a certain way and while this sometimes may seem irrational, this thesis illustrates that there is a rationale behind it.
