Youth and employment among the BRICS
This report is dedicated to the analysis of the usage of social programmes to promote youth employment in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries. The special issue commences with a comparative article, followed by an article by UNICEF on adolescence. The issue then proceeds to introduce specific sections dedicated to each BRICS country. The opening articles of each section provide a general overview of social programmes and the creation of jobs for young people, while the closing articles from each section provide studies focused on the promotion of youth employment through more specific social programmes.
