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.

Dynamic and growth-oriented SMEs integrated into global value chains are key to boosting productivity, innovation and competitiveness. Yet SMEs everywhere continue to be constrained in their access to finance, skills’ level, innovative capacity, access to business support services and opportunities for internationalisation.

The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool designed for emerging economies to assess SME policy frameworks and monitor progress in policy implementation over time.

The Skills Towards Employability and Productivity (STEP) skills measurement program is part of the World Bank’s portfolio of analytical products on skills. The STEP program consists of two survey instruments that collect information on the supply and demand for skills in urban areas: a household survey and an employer survey. Because it provides a set of core questionnaires and implementation materials, the STEP program not only offers information that can be used for country-level policy analysis but also builds comparable country databases on skills. STEP has been implemented in waves, the first surveys being implemented in seven countries in 2012 (Bolivia, Colombia, Ghana, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (PDR), Ukraine, Vietnam, and the Yunnan Province in China), and the second in five countries in 2013 (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kenya, and Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of (FYR)). The data presented in this publication correspond to these countries. It illustrates the similarities and differences among groups that have completed different education levels on a wide range of issues and outcomes.

The youth employment crisis presents a major challenge for the future of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. At the same time, workers are experiencing a lack of decent work and face long-term social exclusion. Aggravated by the global economic and financial crisis in the labour markets of CIS, the unemployment rate is projected to remain at just over 18 per cent until 2018.

The situation requires governments, employers and workers to promote, create and maintain decent and productive jobs. In the resolution 'The youth employment crisis: A call for action', adopted by the International Labour Conference in 2012, representatives of the Governments, employers and workers of 185 countries, called for urgent and immediate action to reverse the youth employment crisis. This note presents the results of that initiative.

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.

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.

This note summarizes the main findings of the STEP Employer Skills Survey carried out in Azerbaijan in 2013. The note argues that there is a skills shortage in Azerbaijan. Azeri employers claim that it is difficult to find workers with the required skills. The shortage is particularly pronounced in the case of modern, innovative firms, which tend to required more advanced skills. The education system does not meet the needs of the majority of employers. In particular, it does not equip young workers with the practical skills that are required in the workplace, and with knowledge that is up-to-date.

The note finds that employers seek not only technical, job-specific skills but also cognitive skills (such as literacy, numeracy and problem solving) and adequate socio-behavioural skills (such as communication, teamwork, leadership and ability to work independently).

People with disabilities

Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.

Настоящий доклад содержит краткую историческую справку по вопросам инвалидности, обзор текущего положения лиц с ограниченными возможностями на рынке труда в странах Восточной Европы и Центральной Азии и показывает основные проблемы, которые стоят перед ними. Далее рассматриваются основополагающие нормы Организации Объединенных Наций (ООН) и Международной организации труда (МОТ), связанные с правами лиц с ограниченными возможностями, и анализируется соответствующее национальное законодательство четырех стран этой группы – Армении, Азербайджана, Беларуси и Российской Федерации. На основе этого анализа, а также международного опыта в докладе предлагаются рекомендации о внесении желательных поправок в законодательство, которые обеспечат более надежную защиту лиц с ограниченными возможностями от дискриминации и улучшат регулирование в области их профессионального образования и подготовки, профессиональной реабилитации и занятости, а также оказание им содействия в этой сфере. Затем следует обзор национальных систем квот и сборов, применяющихся в некоторых странах Восточной Европы и Центральной Азии, а также их действенности и эффективности; анализ доступа лиц с ограниченными возможностями к общему и специальному профессиональному образованию и подготовке; сведения о наличии системы профессиональной реабилитации лиц с ограниченными возможностями и доступа к ней; а также об охвате лиц с ограниченными возможностями службами занятости и содействия трудоустройству. Каждый раздел заканчивается рекомендациями, направленными на улучшение разработки национальной политики, расширение ее охвата и масштабов и повышение эффективности.

The report provides an overview of the current labour market situation of people with disabilities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) and identifies the main challenges faced by them. It then discusses the main United Nations (UN) and International Labour Organization (ILO) international standards related to the rights of people with disabilities. The report further draws on information from ILO-commissioned country studies in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus and the Russian Federation to review national legislation and policies regulating/protecting and promoting employment of people with disabilities. It goes own to analyse the relevant national legislation of these four countries and its compliance with international labour standards. On the basis of this analysis as well as international experience, the report provides recommendations for the EECA region on amendments to legislation that would ensure better protection of people with disabilities against discrimination, and improve the regulation and promotion of their vocational education and training, vocational rehabilitation and employment. This is followed by the analysis of: effectiveness of the national quota/levy systems; access of people with disabilities to mainstream and special vocational education and training; availability of and access to vocational rehabilitation; and the scope of job placement services and employment promotion policies for people with disabilities in these four countries. The report seeks to improve the knowledge of staff of institutions responsible for providing vocational education and training, vocational rehabilitation, and job mediation and placement services to people with disabilities, and for those operating programmes boosting employability and promoting the (re-)employment of people with disabilities.
