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.

OECD country case studies Given the ageing challenges, there is an increasing pressure in OECD countries to further boost the employability of the working-age population over the coming decades. This report provides an overview of policy iniatives implemented over the past decade in the Netherlands and identifies areas where more should be done, covering both supply-side and demand-side aspects. To give better incentives to carry on working, the report recommends to promote longer contribution periods in the second-pillar pension schemes, and ensure better information and transparency of pension schemes, with a special focus on groups with low financial literacy. On the side of employers, it is important to progress towards more age-neutral hiring decisions and wage-setting procedures with more focus on performance and less on tenure and seniority. To improve the employability of older workers, the focus should be to promote training measures for older unemployed which are directly linked to a specific job. The large diversity in municipal "Work-First"programmes should be utilised in designing mor effective activation policies targetted on those at risk of losing contact with the labour market.

OECD country case studies This report provides an overview of policy initiatives implemented in Denmark over the past decade. Even if these recent reforms are well in line with the recommendations of the 2005 OECD report Ageing and Employment Policies: Denmark, the focus has been put mainly on the supply side. The aim of this new report is to identify what more could be done to promote longer working lives. As a first step, the government should assess closely the implementation process to ensure that the expected outcomes of the reforms are achieved. More broadly, the strategy should act simultaneously in three areas by: i) strengthening incentives to carry on working; ii) tackling employment barriers on the side of employers; and iii) improving the employability of older workers.

Ce rapport établit un état des lieux de la mise en œuvre des mesures pour l'emploi des seniors suite au rapport de 2003 "Vieillissement et politiques de l’emploi : Suisse" et identifie les champs prioritaires d’actions à mener ou à poursuivre. La Suisse se situe dans le peloton de tête des pays de l’OCDE pour ce qui concerne le taux d’emploi des personnes âgées. Pourtant, elle est parmi les champions uniquement pour les hommes de moins de 60 ans et pour les diplômés de l’enseignement supérieur tandis qu’il suffit d’avoir 60-64 ans, d’être une femme ou de ne pas avoir de diplôme de l’enseignement supérieur pour ne plus être parmi les meilleurs. Davantage pourrait donc être fait pour donner à tous les travailleurs de meilleurs choix et incitations pour continuer à travailler. Une stratégie d’ensemble est nécessaire pour qu’une meilleure gestion des âges soit menée dans les entreprises, le rôle des autorités publiques étant d’encourager les partenaires sociaux à investir plus dans les travailleurs âgés. Trois axes doivent être privilégiés : i) renforcer les incitations pour travailler plus longtemps ; ii) lever les obstacles au recrutement et au maintien dans l’emploi destravailleurs âgés ; et iii) améliorer l’employabilité des travailleurs

Financing of training

Thumbnail

Initial education and training and lifelong learning benefit individuals, employers and society as a whole. Economic principles dictate that the costs for services with public and private benefits should be shared between public and private funding, or else too little training will be provided or taken up. Effective mechanisms for financing skills development vary according to countries’ economic and political circumstances and the degree and level of social dialogue established.

Part of the series: Getting Skills Right The present report examines how governments use financial incentives to promote a better alignment between labour market needs, on the one hand, and the supply of skills, on the other. In doing so, it identifies: i) innovative models that countries may be interested in learning from; ii) best practice in the design and use of financial incentives; iii) framework conditions for their effective use; and iv) limitations and risks in the use of financial incentives.

L’espérance de vie n’a jamais été aussi élevée qu’aujourd’hui tandis que la fécondité est en diminution dans la majorité des pays de l’OCDE. Pour faire face à ces tendances démographiques, il faut adapter les dépenses publiques de protection sociale et assurer leur viabilité à long terme, en particulier en favorisant l’emploi des seniors. Avec le recul de l’âge légal de la retraite, les seniors vont travailler plus longtemps et les entreprises devront les garder en emploi. Mais parmi les seniors, ceux qui perdent leur emploi risquent de rester longtemps au chômage car leurs chances d’en retrouver un sont faibles. Comment les pays peuvent-ils réagir face à cette réalité ? Comment donner aux seniors de meilleurs choix et incitations au travail ? Comment promouvoir la diversité des âges dans les entreprises ? Cette série de rapports s’attache à analyser et évaluer quelles sont les meilleures politiques à mener pour favoriser l'employabilité, la mobilité professionnelle et la demande de travail à un âge plus élevé.

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 is an executive summary of CAF-Development Bank of Latin America's 2016 Report on Economic Development (RED). Skills are the mainstay of human capital. They are the capabilities that a person has to effectively solve different problems. Skills include not only knowledge or abstract reasoning, but also aspects of personality, beliefs and even physical skills. This report shows that having more skills involves working better and being more productive, having better physical and mental health, participating more actively in civic life, completing more years of education, and experiencing greater satisfaction with life, among other aspects of personal well-being. The report also notes that, unlike human capital measured by years of education, skills for work and life are not only developed in educational institutions. The family, the social and physical environment (e.g. neighborhood or community), and jobs are also areas of crucial importance in the accumulation of skills.

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 concurso forma parte de las actividades del Centro Internacional UNESCO-UNEVOC para el próximo Día Mundial de las Competencias Juveniles 2017 a celebrar el próximo 15 de julio.

Considerada a menudo como una vía educativa de segunda categoría, la educación y formación técnica y profesional tiene un problema de imagen desde hace decenios. En todo el planeta, el fomento de la EFTP adolece de una escasa inversión, calidad y relevancia. Pero en un mundo que afronta altos niveles de desempleo juvenil, mercados de trabajo en rápida transformación, evoluciones tecnológicas y desigualdades sociales persistentes, el papel crucial de la EFTP cosecha cada vez más reconocimiento. La orientación de la EFTP hacia el mundo del trabajo práctico y la obtención de competencias empleables la convierte en una buena herramienta para responder a la temática global y le confiere un rol importante para contribuir a un desarrollo sostenible.

Ya estén capacitados por una escuela o por un lugar de trabajo, gentes de todo el planeta emplean cada día sus competencias profesionales para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. Lamentablemente, apenas quedan huellas prácticas y reveladoras de las ventajas que aporta la educación y formación técnica y profesional a los jóvenes de cualquier país. Sus historias quedan muchas veces sin contarse, y ello obstaculiza difundir la conciencia y promover la inversión en EFTP.

Los objetivos del concurso y del premio son los siguientes:

- Incrementar la conciencia sobre las ventajas de la EFTP.

- Promover la EFTP como medio que permite responder a desafíos globales como la pobreza, el desempleo juvenil y la desigualdad.

- Recompensar el esfuerzo juvenil por promover el desarrollo sostenible en sus comunidades, obteniendo competencias profesionales y llevándolas a la práctica.

Ce concours est organisé par le Centre international UNESCO-UNEVOC à l'occasion de la Journée internationale des compétences des jeunes en juillet 2017.

L’EFTP est souvent considéré comme un enseignement de second ordre, et la question de son prestige est discutée depuis des décennies. Dans le monde entier, le développement de l’enseignement et de la formation techniques et professionnels a souffert d’un manque d’investissements, de qualité et de pertinence. Néanmoins, dans un monde où nombre de pays se trouvent confrontés à un fort chômage des jeunes, à une mutation accélérée des marchés du travail, à des percées technologiques et à des inégalités sociales persistantes, le rôle capital de l’EFTP gagne en reconnaissance. L’EFTP étant orienté sur le monde du travail et dispensant des compétences pour l'emploi, il est bien placé pour relever ces défis mondiaux et joue par ailleurs un rôle essentiel dans la promotion du développement durable.

Qu’elles aient été acquises à l’école ou au travail, les compétences sont mises en œuvre tous les jours sur toute la planète pour parvenir à un monde meilleur. Malheureusement, rares sont les études pratiques et instructives témoignant du profit que dans le monde entier on tire de l’enseignement et de la formation techniques et professionnels. Il reste ainsi largement méconnu, ce qui fait obstacle à une prise de conscience et au renforcement des investissements dans l’EFTP.

Les objectifs du concours sont les suivants:

- Sensibiliser aux avantages de l’EFTP.

médiatiser l’EFTP comme un moyen de relever des défis mondiaux tels que la pauvreté, le chômage des jeunes et l’inégalité.

- Récompenser les efforts consentis par les jeunes pour promouvoir le développement durable dans leurs communautés par l’acquisition de compétences et leur mise en œuvre.

- Constituer une photothèque UNESCO-UNEVOC qui permettra aux acteurs de l’EFTP de promouvoir l’enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels au moyen de divers projets de diffusion et de publication.
