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.

Cette étude analyse le risque d'automatisation et ses implications pour la formation professionnelle et l'utilisation des compétences dans le cadre professionnel. En s’appuyant sur les entretiens d’experts conduits par Carl Frey and Michael Osborne en 2013, cette étude détermine un risque d’automation qui est spécifique à chaque emploi. En utilisant l’Enquête sur les Compétences des Adultes (PIAAC). L’analyse perfectionne les résultats obtenus par d’autres études internationaux sur le risque d’automatisation à niveau individuel en utilisant des catégories professionnelles plus désagrégées et en identifiant les mêmes étranglements techniques constatés lors des entretiens d’experts. Par conséquent, cette étude est mieux alignée à l’évaluation du potentiel d’automatisation généré par les développements en Intelligence Artificielle. Aussi, cette étude applique la même méthodologie à des bases de données nationales pour l’Allemagne et le Royaume Uni, ce qui permet de tester la robustesse des résultats.

Le risque d'automatisation est estimé jusqu'à présent pour les 32 pays de l'OCDE ayant participé à l'Évaluation des compétences des adultes (PIAAC). Outre la proportion d'emplois à risque d’être perturbés par l’automatisation de la production et des services, l'étude s'intéresse en particulier aux caractéristiques desdits emplois et des travailleurs qui les occupent. Le risque est également évalué en fonction de l'utilisation des TIC dans le cadre professionnel et du rôle des formations visant à aider les travailleurs à évoluer vers de nouvelles opportunités professionnelles.

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

Note d’information 8

On estime que les changements technologiques, climatiques et démographiques auront, de pair avec d’autres facteurs déterminants, des incidences notables et diverses sur la demande de compétences (voir les Notes d’information nos 2, 6 et 10). Il va donc falloir procéder à un double aménagement des systèmes de développement des compétences pour façonner l’avenir du travail. Tout d’abord, ces systèmes vont devoir fournir les compétences de base qui habiliteront les citoyens à saisir les nouveaux créneaux technologiques. Et, deuxièmement, ils devront promouvoir un apprentissage dynamique tout au long du cycle de vie pour s’assurer que les individus restent en phase avec la numérisation et autres facteurs de changement.

Cette note d’information donne un aperçu des compétences professionnelles qui seront requises à l’avenir et examine comment modifier les systèmes de développement des compétences pour satisfaire à ces demandes. Elle soulève aussi les questions du financement de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie ainsi que des responsabilités qui incombent respectivement aux gouvernements, aux entreprises et aux travailleurs.

Career guidance and employment services

Thumbnail

Career guidance and counselling, career education and lifelong development of skills for employability are key for success in learning activities, effective career transitions, livelihood planning, entrepreneurship and in increasing labour market participation. They are instrumental in promoting skills utilization, recognition (RPL), as well as in improving enterprise human resource management.

Career development activities encompass a wide variety of support activities including career information and advice, counselling, work exposure (e.g. job shadowing, work experience periods), assessment, coaching, mentoring, professional networking, advocacy, basic and employability skills training (curricular and non-curricular) and entrepreneurship training. It is often an area which is fragmented across different ministries (e.g. education, TVET, employment, youth) requiring an effort to achieve the necessary coordination to provide adequate support to individuals during learning, employment and unemployment/inactivity periods.

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.

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.

The 2017 edition of the series Global Employment Trends for Youth provides an update on key youth labour market indicators, trends and policies, focusing both on continuing labour market instability and on structural issues faced by young people across the world. It looks at the future of work for young women and men, in particular, the link between new automation and digital technologies and youth employment prospects. It also examines youth perceptions of the future based on the ILO’s Youth and the Future of Work Survey. Incorporating the most recent employment trends for young women and men, Global Employment Trends for Youth sets out the youth labour market situation around the world. It shows where progress has or has not been made, updates world and regional youth labour market indicators, and gives detailed analyses of medium-term trends in youth population, labour force, employment, unemployment, working poverty and informality.

The 2017 edition discusses the implications of technological change for youth labour market prospects – both quantity and quality – focusing on trends in sectoral employment and on the forms of work available to young people.
