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

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Thumbnail

Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.

Nota informativa 8

Se considera que los cambios tecnológicos, climáticos y demográficos, junto con otros factores determinantes, repercuten considerable y diversamente sobre la demanda de capacidades básicas (véanse las notas informativas núms. 2, 6 y 10). El futuro del trabajo requerirá un doble ajuste de los sistemas de desarrollo de las capacidades. En primer lugar, esos sistemas deberán proporcionar las capacidades básicas que permitan a las personas aprovechar las oportunidades tecnológicas cambiantes. En segundo lugar, deberán facilitar la formación dinámica a lo largo del ciclo de vida, para garantizar que las personas sigan el ritmo de la digitalización y otros factores de cambio.

Esta nota informativa ofrece una visión general de las capacidades profesionales necesarias para el futuro del trabajo y considera cómo podría llevarse a cabo la transformación de los sistemas de desarrollo de capacidades para satisfacer estas necesidades. También plantea cuestiones sobre la financiación de la formación permanente y sobre las responsabilidades respectivas de los gobiernos, las empresas y los trabajadores.

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.

Skills policies and strategies

Thumbnail

Skills and employment policies should be viewed together.  The full value of one policy set is realized when it supports the objectives of the other.  For investments in education and training to yield maximum benefit to workers, enterprises, and economies, countries’ capacities for coordination is critical in three areas: connecting basic education to technical training and then to market entry; ensuring continuous communication between employers and training providers so that training meets the needs and aspirations of workers and enterprises, and integrating skills development policies with industrial, investment, trade, technology, environmental, rural and local development policies.

This joint OECD-ILO report provides a comparative analysis of case studies focusing on improving skills use in the workplace across eight countries. The examples provide insights into the practical ways in which employers interact with government services and policies at the local level. They highlight the need to build policy coherence across employment, skills, economic development and innovation policies, and underline the importance of ensuring that skills utilisation is built into policy development thinking and implementation.

Skills utilisation concerns the extent to which skills are effectively applied in the workplace to maximise workplace and individual performance. It involves a mix of policies including work organisation, job design, technology adaptation, innovation, employee-employer relations, human resource development practices and business-product market strategies. It is often at the local level that the interface of these factors can best be addressed.

Це дослідження має на меті надання нових даних і фактів для розробки та імплементації державної політики України у сферах професійної освіти, посередництва та інформації на ринку праці, а також політики зайнятості. З цією метою у звіті досліджено природу навичок, необхідних на сучасному ринку праці в Україні, визначено, яких навичок бракує роботодавцям, проаналізовано інші фактори, які перешкоджають роботі фірм, розглянуто вплив інституцій на інвестиції у навички, а також надано рекомендації щодо можливих заходів політики. Важливою характеристикою цього звіту є те, що він надає емпіричні факти, сформульовані на основі ретельного аналізу оригінальних даних, – вибіркових обстежень домогосподарств та фірм з питань навичок, баз даних вакансій, представлених на кадрових онлайн-порталах, та оцінки діяльності інституцій з розвитку робочої сили. Дослідження містить п’ять ключових тез:

1. Незалежно від професії та галузі працівники мають володіти передовими когнітивними, соціоемоційними та технічними навичками, щоб мати у спіх на ринку праці.

2. Система розвитку навичок в Україні має деякі позитивні риси, які виражаються у високому рівні базових когнітивних навичок та значній кількості осіб з вищою освітою, але їй бракує якості та відповідності потребам сучасного ринку праці.

3. Критичні інституційні фактори перешкоджають ефективному розподілу робочої сили та розвитку навичок в Україні.

4. Невідповідність навичок не є найбільшою перешкодою в діяльності фірм, проте вона обмежує ефективність та продуктивність їхньої роботи.

5. Для покращення розвитку та застосування навичок слід реалізовувати різні заходи політики. Такі заходи можуть зачіпати різноманітні сфери, як-от зміни у структурі управління професійною освітою, удосконалення змісту освітніх і навчальних програм, розвиток інформування проситуацію на ринку праці й навчальні програми, удосконалення трудового законодавства тощо.

La historia de América Latina se ha caracterizado por sus fluctuantes tasas de crecimiento económico, el desarrollo insuficiente del capital humano y altos niveles de desigualdad de ingresos. El final del ciclo de una década de crecimiento impulsado por los altos precios de materias primas señala que los países de América Latina deben enfrentar ahora el desafío de mejorar la productividad como fuente de crecimiento sostenible y equitativo a largo plazo. Esto demanda enfrentar el desafío del desarrollo de habilidades en América Latina. En este informe se ofrecen recomendaciones que buscan aprovechar los instrumentos de políticas públicas (regulaciones, incentivos, información y asociaciones público-privadas) para (1) alinear mejor el contenido y las habilidades que se enseñan con las demandas del mercado de trabajo (a través de programas de educación basados en competencias y de educación técnica y vocacional), (2) mejorar la calidad (a través del fortalecimiento en los mecanismos de aseguramiento de la calidad y la amplia difusión de información), y (3) aumentar las tasas de graduación en educación secundaria y terciaria (en particular a través del monitoreo de resultados y el uso de soluciones basadas en evidencia).

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.

El mundo del trabajo es objeto de grandes transformaciones. Estas transformaciones causan un fuerte impacto en los mercados laborales y generan nuevos retos para sus instituciones, entre ellas, las relacionadas con la protección contra el desempleo y con la formación profesional y capacitación, que son clave para la creación de empleo pleno y productivo y el trabajo decente para todas y todos. Por una parte, la constante transformación de los mercados de trabajo y la heterogeneidad creciente de las relaciones laborales generan grandes desafíos para el diseño de instrumentos de protección contra el desempleo. Por otra parte, una adecuada cualificación de la fuerza de trabajo es un elemento clave para cualquier estrategia de desarrollo que aspire a centrar el crecimiento económico en la innovación y el conocimiento. Esto implica un gran reto para los sistemas nacionales de formación profesional y capacitación, que deben hacer frente a una diversidad creciente tanto de las demandas del sector productivo como de las personas que buscan integrarse de manera digna al mercado laboral.

Mediante un análisis de las experiencias recientes de los países de América Latina y Asia en relación con los sistemas de protección contra el desempleo y la formación profesional y capacitación, así como de los retos que enfrentan para el desarrollo de estas instituciones laborales, este libro procura contribuir al debate sobre el perfeccionamiento de instituciones laborales que fomenten el desarrollo sostenible en un mundo del trabajo cambiante.

Gender equality

Thumbnail

Women represent both half of the world's population – and half the world's economic potential. Their participation in the labour market reduces poverty because they often invest 90 per cent of their income in the well-being, education and nutrition of their families. Yet labour force participation by women has stagnated at about 55 per cent globally since 2010. Moreover, women are disproportionately represented in precarious work – low-paid, low-skilled and insecure jobs.

Training plays an important role in the pursuit of equality of opportunity and treatment for women and men in the world of work. Yet women often lack access to technical and vocational education and training. Many also lack the basic functional skills, such as literacy and numeracy, to participate meaningfully in the work force. Overcoming this challenge requires the adoption of a life-cycle approach. This includes improving girls’ access to basic education; overcoming logistic, economic and cultural barriers to apprenticeships and to secondary and vocational training for young women; and meeting the training needs of women re-entering the labour market and of older women who have not had equal access to opportunities for lifelong learning.

Creating sustainable futures for all

The Gender Review of the 2016 Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) recognizes and largely focuses on the challenges facing girls and women because of the disproportionate overall disadvantage they continue to experience in and beyond education. But it also understands that gender disadvantage can be experienced by boys and men, and that gender equality involves males, relationships and power. Gender inequality affects us all. Achieving gender equality must involve us all.

The Gender Review discusses global and regional trends in achieving parity in education access, participation and completion and in selected learning outcomes, stressing that there is much room for progress. It then shifts to an evidence-based discussion of relationships between education, gender and sustainable development by discussing work, civic and political engagement and leadership, as well as health and well-being. It concludes with ways forward: what action is implied by evidence and data for achieving more gender-equal societies and how progress towards such societies is to be measured.

La Stratégie définit des domaines et des actions politiques clés pour la période allant de 2016 à 2021, dans le cadre de la Stratégie à moyen terme de l’UNESCO. Elle contribue aux objectifs stratégiques de l’UNESCO, aux priorités globales de l’Organisation pour l’égalité des genres et l’Afrique, au Programme d’action global pour l’éducation en vue du développement durable et à la Stratégie opérationnelle pour la jeunesse.

Dans ce contexte, et en pleine conformité avec l’ODD 4 visant à « Assurer l’accès de tous à une éducation de qualité, sur un pied d’égalité, et promouvoir les possibilités d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie », la Stratégie a pour but d’appuyer les États membres dans leurs efforts pour améliorer la pertinence de leurs systèmes d’EFTP et équiper tous les jeunes et tous les adultes des compétences nécessaires à l’emploi, à l’obtention d’un travail décent, à l’entreprenariat et à l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, et de contribuer à la mise en œuvre du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 dans son ensemble.

La Stratégie englobe trois domaines prioritaires :
(1) favoriser l’emploi des jeunes et l’entreprenariat ;
(2) promouvoir l’équité et l’égalité des genres ;
(3) faciliter la transition vers des économies vertes et des sociétés durables.
