ILO

The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org

Youth employability

Thumbnail

Globally, nearly 68 million young women and men are looking for and available for work,  and an estimated 123 million young people are working but living in poverty. The number who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) stands at 267 million, a majority of whom are young women. Significantly, young people are three times as likely as adults (25 years and older) to be unemployed.

Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate young women and men in the labour market, including relevant and quality skills training, labour market information, career guidance and employment services, recognition of prior learning, incorporating entrepreneurship with training and effective skills forecasting. Improved basic education and core work skills are particularly important to enable youth to engage in lifelong learning as well as transition to the labour market.

Kenya faces a significant unemployment problem with youth being hit hardest. The high unemployment is related to the overall investment climate in the country and the economy’s low capacity to create new jobs. But youth find it particularly difficult to enter the labour market. Reasons for this are complex. They range from deficits in education and skills to lack of work experience, difficulties to obtain information about career options and job chances, irrational recruitment practices of employers, and the lack of necessary assets and attitudes to become self-employed.

The government has undertaken many initiatives to address the youth unemployment challenges. However, too little is still known about what works best in youth employment promotion in Kenya. In order to guide future investment decisions of government and development partners, more evidence is needed about the effectiveness of different initiatives and approaches in promoting youth employment and fostering a smooth transition from education and training to work. This study tries to address this gap with a mapping of youth employment initiatives in Kenya based on a desk study undertaken in 2013.

Lifelong learning

Thumbnail

There is a critical need for a greater overall investment in education and training, particularly in developing countries. Education and training investments should be closely linked to economic and employment growth strategies and programmes. Responsibility should be shared between the government (primary responsibility), enterprises, the social partners, and the individual. To make lifelong learning for all a reality, countries will need to make major reforms of their vocational and education and training systems. School-to-work schemes for young people should integrate education with workplace learning. Training systems need to become more flexible and responsive to rapidly changing skill requirements. Reforms should also focus on how learning can be facilitated, not just on training for specific occupational categories.

Access to training

Thumbnail

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

ILO Employment Working Paper No. 189

This paper provides experimental evidence on the effects of vocational and entrepreneurial training for Malawian youth, in an environment where access to schooling and formal sector employment is extremely low. It tracks a large fraction of programme drop-outs – a common phenomenon in the training evaluation literature – and examines the determinants and consequences of dropping out and how it mediates the effects of such programmes. The analysis finds that women make decisions in a more constrained environment, and their participation is affected by family obligations. Participation is more expensive for them, resulting in worse training experience. The training results in skills development, continued investment in human capital and improved well-being, with more positive effects for men, but no improvements in labour market outcomes in the short run.

Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

The European Training Foundation (ETF) ex-post policy analysis that was conducted in Montenegro between June and December 2014 is an analysis of a set of policy measures taken to address a specific policy challenge. The key challenges for Montenegro relate to the VET system’s ability to develop a capacity to support the employability of its citizens by building and recognising skills and qualifications that are relevant for the current economy and opening up opportunities for learning and career development for the future. In that context, the key issues relevant for this ex-post policy analysis are as follows: How far has the VET system been able to adapt and to make creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship an integral part of its structure? To what extent is the system inclusive and supportive of different at-risk groups, including low-skilled people? And to what extent does it offer training opportunities that meet the learning and practical needs of adults.

There are different understandings and conceptualizations of transversal skills across countries but in general these skills refer to a number of important competencies for life and work (namely communication, entrepreneurship, problem-solving, innovation, collaboration skills, etc.) that can be acquired through education and training and can help people better progress through pathways between education levels and across employment sectors.

Published since 1979, the Global Competitiveness Report series is today the world’s most comprehensive assessment of national competitiveness. This year’s edition is being released at a time when the world economy is evolving against the background of the “new normal” of lower economic growth, lower productivity growth, and high unemployment and when several downside risks loom on the horizon: the normalization of monetary policies in the United States, exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, and political instability.

The Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2016 presents the rankings of the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). The GCI is based on 12 pillars that provide a comprehensive picture of the competitiveness landscape in countries around the world at different stages of economic development. The Report contains detailed profiles highlighting competitive strengths and weaknesses for each of the 140 economies featured.
