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.

Teachers, trainers and training organizations

Thumbnail

At the heart of any skills system are the managers and staff of training institutions who face considerable challenges to deliver quality programmes at a time of fiscal constraint. As the expectations placed on institutions continue to grow, managers and trainers are increasingly expected to deliver flexible, responsive and current programmes based on strong partnerships with local employers that provide good employment outcomes. Because of this, there is a need for constituents to build the capacity of their institutional workforce to meet the expectations placed upon them by demand driven systems.

Financement de la formation continue_0.pdf

Projet «Promotion du dialogue social et renforcement de la gouvernance du travail en Tunisie-Phase II»

Les dispositifs actuels de financement de la formation professionnelle continue en Tunisie se résument en trois outils à savoir : le «crédit d’impôt», le «droit de tirage» et «l’article 39 du code d’incitation aux investissements». Les deux premiers outils ont été mis en place par la réforme de 2009.

Cependant, la pratique a montré que ces outils se sont avérés peu efficients et se caractérisent par une lourdeur des procédures et une faible attractivité auprès du secteur privé.

Partant de là, l’objectif de la présente étude est de faire le diagnostic du volet financement du dispositif de la formation continue en vue de préparer la réflexion sur la refonte du système et la mise en place d’un dispositif souple et plus efficient.

Ce rapport comporte un diagnostic du dispositif et un benchmarking avec quelques pays. Par la suite, il soumet des recommandations sur le contour d’un nouveau dispositif, en s’intéressant aux aspects liés à son mode de financement, aux bénéficiaires cibles et aux activités éligibles.

Apprenticeships

Thumbnail

Quality apprenticeships based on robust social dialogue and public-private partnerships can improve employment prospects for young people while developing high level skills identified by employers as necessary for growth and increased productivity. Both informal and regulated apprenticeship systems are important learning resources enabling young people to overcome the work-inexperience trap, gain new and enhanced skills and recognized qualifications.

Upgrading informal apprenticeships and expanding regulated ones is a cost-effective way to invest in a country’s skills base, promote economic growth and enhance the employability of youth.

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.

Ce rapport constitue la synthèse analytique du 2e atelier régional de partage et de renforcement mutuel des acteurs de la formation professionnelle en Afrique, tenu à Nairobi du 18 au 20 juin 2019 sur le thème : « Améliorer la gestion de la qualité des systèmes d’EFTP pour une transition formation-emploi des jeunes d’Afrique réussie ».

L’atelier de Nairobi a été organisé sous la coordination technique du Pôle de Dakar de l’Institut international de planification de l’éducation de l’UNESCO (IIPE-Pôle de Dakar), en partenariat avec l’Agence de coopération au développement du Luxembourg (LuxDev) et l’Institut de la Francophonie pour l’éducation et la formation (IFEF). Il a bénéficié du soutien du VET Toolbox de la Commission européenne et de l’Agence française de développement (AFD).

Il a été conçu en capitalisant les enseignements du premier atelier régional de partage, tenu à Dakar en mars 2018, sur les partenariats public-privé, dont l’ensemble des réflexions croisées et expériences partagées ont été synthétisées dans un rapport thématique similaire à celui-ci.

STEP Skills Measurement Employer Survey 2016 - 2017
The STEP (Skills Toward Employment and Productivity) Measurement program is the first ever initiative to generate internationally comparable data on skills available in developing countries. The program implements standardized surveys to gather information on the supply and distribution of skills and the demand for skills in labor market of low-income countries.

The uniquely designed modules in the Employer Survey aim to assess the structure of the labor force; the skills (cognitive skills, behavior and personality traits, and job-relevant skills) currently being used; the skills that employers look for when hiring new workers; the propensity of firms to provide training (including satisfaction with education, training, and levels of specific skills) and the link between skills and compensation and promotion. The survey also captures background characteristics (size, legal form, industry, full time vs. non-standard employment and occupational breakdown), performance (revenues, wages and other costs, profits and scope of market), key labor market challenges and their ranking relative to other challenges, and job skill requirements of the firms being interviewed.

Skills for green transition/climate action

Thumbnail

The growing importance of sustainable development and the shift to a low-carbon and climateresilient economy will require new skills and qualifications, offering great potential for the creation of green jobs but also implying structural changes and a transformation of existing jobs. The transition to a low-carbon and greener economy will generate millions of new jobs, negatively affect some high-emitting sectors, and alter most existing occupations in terms of task compositions and skills requirements. 

Ensuring the right skills for green jobs is a prerequisite to make the transition to a greener economy happen. Today, skills gaps are already recognised as a major bottleneck in a number of sectors, such as renewable energy, energy and resource efficiency, green building or environmental services. The adoption and dissemination of clean technologies require skills in technology application, adaptation and maintenance. Skills are also crucial for economies and
businesses, workers and entrepreneurs to rapidly adapt to changes deriving from climate change and environmental policies.

A job is considered green if it contributes substantially to protecting or restoring ecosystems and
biodiversity; reducing resource consumption and inefficiency; de-carbonizing the economy; and minimizing
or altogether eliminating all forms of waste and pollution – while also generating and supporting the
wellbeing of people.

The challenge for African governments is that a green transformation of the economy will destroy and
displace existing jobs, even as it creates new ones. This is bound to be disruptive, even if the eventual
outcomes are generally positive. What should African governments, funding partners, researchers and
other relevant stakeholders do to support a green transition of their economies, which stimulates job
creation that benefits young people? This paper consolidates and reviews evidence on the creation of
green jobs for African youth at regional, national and sectoral levels.

ILO Policy Brief The ILO-Egypt Youth Employment (EYE) project, funded by the the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has
organized “Pathways to Employment: What works, what does not, and how can we innovate?” workshop on
March 2, 2020. The event included national stakeholders and partners working on employment programmes
for young people in Egypt. The workshop aimed at raising the awareness of stakeholders and ensuring the
effectiveness and efficiency of employment programmes and interventions through sharing of experiences and
best practices, and addressing challenges facing the ecosystem. The workshop addressed certain gaps in
the labour market policies that address macroeconomic and sectoral growth policies but overlook the lack of
decent and sustainable work opportunities and the rising unemployment amongst Egypt’s youth. The
brief will emphasize the challenges that hinder the effectiveness and impact of a number of employment
programmes in terms of absence of coherent policies, strategies frameworks, synergies and coordination
schemes.

This policy brief will provide an overview of the workshop activities as well as provide a concise summary of presented recommendations and action plans shared by the participants. It will start by highlighting the mandate and role of the ILO in actualizing decent employment opportunities for the Egyptian youth and workshop objectives. It will then provide an overview of the employment scene in Egypt as it was presented by ILO and key stakeholders. The brief will emphasize the policy issues facing employment in Egypt and the outcomes of the three working groups held during the workshop which tackled major employability schemes including ‘Training for Employment (TfE)’, ‘Job Fairs, Job Search Clubs and Online Platforms’ and ‘Wage Subsidies and Apprenticeship’. Finally, it will provide policy and programme-related recommendations to help promote and achieve sustainable employment in Egypt.

Towards decent work for young refugees and host communities in the digital platform economy in Africa: Kenya, Uganda, Egypt
This report explores job creation in the gig economy from the unique experiences and perspectives of youth and refugees, as well as from the viewpoint of digital labour and e-commerce platforms, digital training providers, start-up incubators, social partners, and policymakers. The world of work is subject to digital transformation and has witnessed a rapid rise of the digital platform economy over the last decade. Despite a growing body of research on this topic, the specific implications of this transformation for refugees and other marginalized populations remains poorly understood. The ILO’s Youth Employment Accelerator and the PROSPECTS partnership commissioned the present research to set a basis for a series of upcoming interventions in the digital economy, and more specifically in relation to digital labour and e-commerce platforms within PROSPECTS target countries in Africa. With a focus on Kenya, Uganda and Egypt, this report aims to contribute to a better understanding of the main challenges and opportunities that digital labour and e-commerce platforms in Africa pose for supporting a wider transition to decent work, with a concentration on refugees, displaced persons and their host communities. It builds on important recent ILO publications on this topic, including the 2021 World Employment and Social Outlook (WESO) on the digital platform economy and the report Digital Refugee Livelihoods and Decent Work: Towards Inclusion in a Fairer Digital Economy.

The online marketplace is often perceived to be easily accessible at a time when local employment alternatives outside urban centres are frequently scarce. The case of refugees offers a critical view on sometimes overly optimistic ideas about the digital platform economy as inclusive, empowering and transformative. Indeed, the current state of refugees and youth in the digital platform economy raises some serious concern about the lack of inclusion and the absence of adequate social protection, rights at work and decent working conditions.

Rural employment

Thumbnail

Eight out of 10 of the world’s working poor who live on US $1.25 per day live in rural areas, where many are caught in vulnerable employment, especially in agriculture.Flourishing rural areas are vital to regional and national development. Yet, rural economies tend to face a wide range of challenges that urban areas are more likely to overcome. These include access to transportation, sanitation and health services, and a consumer base in close proximity to support small and medium enterprise development. Women and men working in rural areas also face difficulties associated with a paucity of economic opportunities, under investment, poor infrastructure and public services, including education, and, in many cases, weak governance and underdeveloped markets.

Education, entrepreneurship, and physical and social infrastructure all play an important role in developing rural regions. Skills are central to improving employability and livelihood opportunities, reducing poverty, enhancing productivity and promoting environmentally sustainable development.

C'est particulièrement le cas pour les travailleurs peu et moyennement qualifiés, qui constituent la majorité des travailleurs migrants dans la sous-région.

Ce rapport décrit le travail effectué par l'OIT pour répondre à la promotion de la reconnaissance mutuelle des compétences et renforcer les partenariats de compétences entre le Ghana, le Nigeria et le Togo.

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

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.

Case study UIA TANZANIA_EN_2021.pdf
The Tanzanian government first recognized the importance of informal education and training in its 1995
Education and Training Policy, which states that nonformal and informal education and training shall be
“recognized, promoted, strengthened, coordinated and integrated into the formal education and training system”. Until 2011, however, implementation of these policy pronouncements, grounded in careful analysis of labour market and training needs, was lacking.

Case study UIA_BENIN_EN_2021.pdf
In Benin, access to formal technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is conditional on finishing
the second year of secondary school, equivalent to completing nine years of education. However, among 5- to
17-year-olds, the median years in education is four. As a result, only 5 per cent of secondary age youth are in TVET,
totalling around 50,000 young people.
