The 2017 edition of the series Global Employment Trends for Youth provides an update on key youth labour market indicators, trends and policies, focusing both on continuing labour market instability and on structural issues faced by young people across the world. It looks at the future of work for young women and men, in particular, the link between new automation and digital technologies and youth employment prospects. It also examines youth perceptions of the future based on the ILO’s Youth and the Future of Work Survey.

Incorporating the most recent employment trends for young women and men, Global Employment Trends for Youth sets out the youth labour market situation around the world. It shows where progress has or has not been made, updates world and regional youth labour market indicators, and gives detailed analyses of medium-term trends in youth population, labour force, employment, unemployment, working poverty and informality.

The 2017 edition discusses the implications of technological change for youth labour market prospects – both quantity and quality – focusing on trends in sectoral employment and on the forms of work available to young people.
