Investing in Youth: Brazil
This publication builds on the extensive country reviews that the OECD has carried out previously on the youth labour market and vocational education and training (Jobs for Youth, Learning for Jobs and Skills beyond School), as well as on the OECD Skills Strategy.
The present report on Brazil is the first in a new series on Investing in Youth which extends the OECD’s work on youth employment and skills to the major emerging economies. The report provides a detailed diagnosis of the youth labour market and education system in Brazil from an international comparative perspective, and offers some policy options to help improve school-to-work transitions. It also provides an opportunity for other countries to learn from the innovative measures that Brazil has taken to strengthen the skills of youth and their employment outcomes.
