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.

The two studies presented in this publication are based on empirical field research work and were prepared as part of the Education and Labour Market project.

The strategies used in preparation of the studies include surveying the opinions and attitudes of various social groups (schoolboys and schoolgirls themselves, their parents, the staff of general schools, vocational schools and universities, and employers and employees in various sectors of the economy). This made it possible to analyse the close links between education, employment and the labour market from a variety of stakeholder perspectives.

One of the studies explored the job expectations of girls and boys in grades 9 and 12, and boys and girls attending vocational schools, bearing in mind that in the Libyan education system pupils specialise from grade 10 upward. These expectations were then compared with the actual employment situation. The second study focused on labour market study and a comparison of supply and demand. It explored the self-assessment of key competencies that young people had acquired in various educational and training institutions. These were compared with the competencies in demand among businesses and institutions in economic growth sectors in Libya.

Both studies are the result of interdisciplinary teamwork involving close and daily cooperation between international experts and a considerable number of Libyan experts.

In a rapidly changing world with diverse demands, universities face the challenge to produce human resources with the right capacities, skills and knowledge to meet society’s needs. Governments call on universities to facilitate the shift to knowledge-based economy and high-technology to ensure a competitive edge in the global market. Preparing young people to enter the labour market has therefore become a critical responsibility for universities.

Many economies are reported as not generating sufficient employment opportunities to absorb growth in the working-age population, a generation of young productive workers will face an uncertain future, unless this trend is reversed.

The case studies from selected countries in Asia commissioned by UNESCO Bangkok with the support of Japanese Funds-in-Trust and UNESCO Jakarta give a better understanding of the current trends and challenges as regards employability of university graduates in Asia.

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

Work4Youth Publication Series No. 1

To characterize specific youth employment challenges and to support policy-makers in designing adequate instruments to support the transition of young people into employment, the ILO has developed its school-to-work transition survey (SWTS), a household survey of young people aged 15-29. The SWTS, implemented in 2012 with a second round planned for 2014, can serve as a principle tool for monitoring the impact of policies and programmes outlined in the National Action Plan on Youth Employment (NAP) and other national instruments.This report is intended for the policy makers and social partners that concern themselves with the implementation of the NAP and other youth-related policies and programmes.

The indicators generated from the survey and analysed in this report aim to present a much more detailed picture of youth in the labour market than what can usually be derived through standard surveys, including the labour force survey. Unemployment among youth is a major national concern, but it is also important to consider the quali ty of work made available to the young population. Does the work provide the wages and security necessary to empower young people to move toward self-sufficiency in their pending adulthood? The emphasis on quality of employment in this report should help to answer this question. The report also draws attention to the path and duration that young people’s transition from school to work takes and draws conclusions on characteristics or experiences that make for a smoother transition.

Работа за младите, публикација број 1 во серијата

Со цел да се карактеризираат одредени предизвици на вработувањето на младите и да се поддржат креаторите на политиката при планирање на соодветни инструменти за поддршка на младите при премин кон вработување, МОТ изготви анкет а за преминувањето од училиште кон работа (АПУР), анкета на домаќинства во кои има млади на возраст од 15 до 29 години. АПУР, која што се спроведе во 2012 година, а вториот циклус се планира за 2014 година, може да послужи како основна алатка за следење на влијанието на политиките и програмите наведени во Националниот акциски план за вработување на младите (НАП) и други национални инструменти. Овој извештај е наменет за креаторите на политики и социјалните партнери што се вклучени во спроведувањето на НАП и другите политики и програми поврзани со младите.

Показателите што се генерирани од анкетата и се предмет на анализа на овој извештај, имаат за цел да дадат многу подетална слика за младите на пазарот на трудот, отколку што е случај со стандардните анкети, вклучувајќи ја и анкетата на работната сила. Невработеноста меѓу младите е голема национална грижа, но исто така, важно е да се земе предвид и квалитетот на работата што се нуди на младото население. Дали работата ги обезбедува неопходната плата и сигурно ст што би им овозможило на младите македонски граѓани да бидат самодоволни во иднина? Акцентот на квалитетот на вработувањето во овој извештај треба да помогне во одговорот на ова прашање. Со извештајот се истакнува патот и времетраењето на преминот на мла дите од образование кон работа и се изнесуваат заклучоци за карактеристиките или искуствата што би придонеле кон полесен премин.

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.

The Apprenticeships, Children, Skills and Learning Act published in 2009 guarantees all suitably qualified young people an entitlement to an apprenticeship place. The Act also set out details of the Specification of Apprenticeship Standards for England (SASE) which outlines the minimum requirements to be included in a recognised English Apprenticeship framework. Compliance with the SASE is a statutory requirement of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act. The new rules set, for the first time, a set of minimum duration of 12 months for apprenticeships to help improve the relevance of the training.
