Understanding barriers to accessing skills development and employment for youth in Argentina and South Africa: Synthesis report
This synthesis is based on two national studies concerning youth transitions to work and the labour market, within the framework of the project Understanding Barriers to Accessing Skills Development and Employment for Youth in Argentina and South Africa. The studies analysed three main issues: (1) the quality of the productive activities that youngster get, such as jobs, employment, volunteering, and learnerships; (2) policies regarding work preparation and deployment, including the conceptual approaches, guidelines and designs of implementation, their similarities, and contradictions; and (3) youth opportunities in the construction and wine production sectors. Emphasis is placed on knowledge of the relationships between the various actors within society, state, non-state, public and private national and international institutions.
