What do we know about the largest education system in the world? A system that is educating 260 million young people, and that employs 15 million teachers? This report provides a broad overview of how China’s education system is organised and operates, and how reforms, both past and current, have reshaped education in China over time. The report then examines in greater detail education in the four economies within China that participated in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015. PISA is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.

This report is organised into six chapters. The first outlines China’s national education system and how it works, including the organisation of the system, and how the government deals with educational development, reform and quality improvement, teachers, students, curriculum and teaching. The second chapter introduces current education reforms and relevant nationwide policies, including the challenge of balancing educational development in rural and urban areas, and reforms of the examinations. The remaining four chapters are each devoted to the four participating provinces and municipalities in PISA 2015.

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

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.

Gender equality

Thumbnail

Women represent both half of the world's population – and half the world's economic potential. Their participation in the labour market reduces poverty because they often invest 90 per cent of their income in the well-being, education and nutrition of their families. Yet labour force participation by women has stagnated at about 55 per cent globally since 2010. Moreover, women are disproportionately represented in precarious work – low-paid, low-skilled and insecure jobs.

Training plays an important role in the pursuit of equality of opportunity and treatment for women and men in the world of work. Yet women often lack access to technical and vocational education and training. Many also lack the basic functional skills, such as literacy and numeracy, to participate meaningfully in the work force. Overcoming this challenge requires the adoption of a life-cycle approach. This includes improving girls’ access to basic education; overcoming logistic, economic and cultural barriers to apprenticeships and to secondary and vocational training for young women; and meeting the training needs of women re-entering the labour market and of older women who have not had equal access to opportunities for lifelong learning.

This publication summarizes the major outcomes of a technical workshop on the gender dimensions of rural employment organized by FAO, IFAD and the ILO, held from 31 March to 2 April 2009. The cornerstone of this publication’s analysis is the United Nation’s Decent Work Agenda, which calls for creating better jobs for both women and men, obtaining social protection for all rural workers, ensuring that labour standards apply to all rural workers and promoting rural institutions that equally represent women’s and men’s interests.

The publication is structured into three main parts. Part 1 is an overview presenting issues related to gender equality and rural employment for poverty reduction, that includes the construction of a gender analytical framework across regions and contexts. This section also identifies appropriate policy responses and gender based constraints to the achievement of decent work for all. Part 2 outlines and analyses key issues from the forty papers presented at the workshop, and provides abstracts of all those papers. Finally Part 3 offers a selection of six workshop papers that cover thematic areas of particular relevance to discussions about gender and rural employment.

A technical cooperation project implemented by the ILO, with funding provided by KOICA of South Korea. The project supports the implementation of the ILO/G20 Training Strategy for Strong, Sustainable and Balanced Growth. Project dates: December 2014 to December 2017.

The project main objective is to improve the access of persons from local communities to training and to opportunities to turn that training into productive livelihoods. It aims to reach a broader base of job creation, along the value chains in the extractive industry, through an accelerated development of human capital, focusing on the most vulnerable groups, especially young people and women.

The project places a large emphasis in the acquisition of skills for employability and in supporting services to the development of SMEs. The project is being implemented using the ILO methodology TREE (Training for Rural Economic Empowerment) and in partnership with government institutions. This will create the necessary technical capability for continuity after the end of the program. To provide strategic direction and coordination of the activities of this project, a Steering Committee composed by representatives of the Mozambican Government, the United Nations and the social partners would be created.

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.

This document provides case studies from different regions that set out the challenges, successes and lessons learned relating to the development of knowledge, skills and capacity for youth in agriculture. Bearing in mind the necessity of addressing various approaches for targeting youth, case studies cover the areas of peer-to-peer knowledge transfer, vocational training and skills development, and education systems and research. Specific issues concerned with how to integrate traditional or inter-generational knowledge and the use of new technologies are interwoven throughout the various case studies. The conclusion offers insights into how learning from these initiatives can inform the broader policy environment as well as the design of youth targeted policies, projects and programmes - with the overarching objective of providing attractive, remunerative and sustainable livelihoods for youth in agriculture to further food security and nutrition.

A Formação para o Empoderamento Económico das Comunidades Rurais (Training for Rural Economic Empowerment, TREE) é um programa desenvuelto pelo Departamento para as Competências e a Empregabilidade da OIT, concebido segundo os princípios de formação de base comunitária. Esta metodología sistemática garante que a formação está ligada a oportunidades económicas e de emprego, e que os grupos-alvo desfavorecidos, incluindo as mulheres pobres e as pessoas com deficiência, podem aproveitar estas oportunidades e, assim, ver o seu poder económico reforçado.

O presente Manual é uma fonte de informação e um guia para conceber, planear e implementar um programa nacional relacionado com os processos da metodología TREE. O seu conteúdo reflete a experiência considerável adquirida pela OIT através da implementação de projetos de apoio técnico relacionados com aquela metodologia. O Manual Genérico da TREE não constitui um esquema para um projeto, sendo um guia desenvolvido especificamente para planear, conceber e implementar programas de apoio à formação e pós-formação para reforçar o poder das pessoas pobres e das suas comunidades. Trata-se de um documento abrangente que ilustra os processos sistemáticos para conceber um programa de desenvolvimento das competências com base na metodologia TREE. Este Manual contém diretrizes, ferramentas de implementação e materiais para auxiliar os responsáveis pelo planeamento, os gestores de projetos e os parceiros de implementação dos programas de desenvolvimento das competências como parte integrante das estratégias de redução da pobreza e de empoderamento.

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.
