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

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.

Sectoral approaches

Matching skills to labour market demand requires reliable sectoral and occupational information and institutions that connect employers with training providers. Sector based strategies and institutions have proved effective in engaging all stakeholders in promoting both pre-employment training and life-long learning.

Skills for Trade & Economic Diversification (STED) This report on the Skills Needs of the Food Processing and Beverage sector in Jordan was prepared under the ILO’s Skills for Trade and Employment project, which is the Jordanian component of the global Applying the G20 Training Strategy project. It reports on the findings of a forward-looking study of the sector’s skills needs based on the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) methodology. The methodology combines sector level technical research and consultation with the social partners and other stakeholders to develop a shared analysis of the trade and skills challenges facing the sector, and proposals as to what should be done on skills to meet these challenges and secure a positive future for the sector.

This report sheds light on the situation of the Jordanian Food Processing and Beverage sector from a skills and labour market perspective. It reflects on Jordan’s exports within the region and to other international markets, examining the challenges that affect this sector in improving its competitive position, especially in comparison with competitors in regional markets - from within the region and from Europe and Asia. The report summarises key findings of the research and stakeholder consultations, and sets out the main recommendations.

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.

OECD Education Working Papers No. 45 This paper places the competencies to be measured by the OECD’s Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) in the context of the technological developments which are reshaping the nature of the workplace and work in the 21st century. The largest technological force currently shaping work is the computer. Computers are faster and less expensive than people in performing some workplace tasks and much weaker than people in performing other tasks. On the basis of an understanding of the kinds of work computers do well, it is possible to describe the work that will remain for people in the future, the skills that work requires and the way that computers can assist people in performing that work. The paper argues that a technology-rich workplace requires foundational skills including numeracy and literacy, advanced problem-solving skills or Expert Thinking and advanced communication skills or Complex Communication.

EU-US study for the European Commission This report presents research findings from a transatlantic comparative study on Emerging skills and Competences. The study contributes to the on-going policy dialogue between the US Department of Education and the European Commission, DG Education and Culture on the future strategic direction of education and training systems. More specifically, the study explores approaches adopted to make education and training systems more responsive to emerging skills needs to match future demands in more globalised labour markets. Through exploratory interviews with a range of stakeholders and through a limited number of illustrative case studies, the study has identified a number of promising practices emerging on both sides of the Atlantic, An inventory of European practices of forecasting and anticipation of emerging skills was prepared as part of the study.

The window of opportunity called the Demographic Dividend is available to India only till 2040. Realizing the demographic dividend brings to the fore the serious challenge of skilling the labour force. But before devising the skill development strategy for these coming years, a task of greater importance is to estimate the magnitude of the challenge and to assess the skill gap. Against this backdrop, this paper tries to estimate the skilling requirements, sector-wise, in different scenarios to arrive at a realistic and desirable target.

Contribution to the Let’s Work Partnership Nine out of ten jobs in developing countries are provided by private-sector companies. Yet globally, 38% of private-sector employers report difficulties in filling vacant positions owing to the unavailability of adequately trained staff. The result is a serious mismatch: on the one hand, all those job vacancies; on the other, vast numbers of job-seekers who do not have the skills (private) employers are looking for. These so-called skills gaps – the difference between the skills needed for a job and those possessed by a worker – represent a major constraint on development.

This report introduces an approach for companies to conduct a cost-benefit appraisal of their measures to address skills gaps – in their own workforce, in the value chain and in the local community.

South Africa has a peculiar high level of unemployment especially among the youth, women and low-skilled workforce. This is partly due to constraints inherited from the apartheid era, such as the imbalance in the spatial distribution between jobs and people, as well as inequities in access to quality training for certain population groups.

Unemployment is also persistent due to the progressive erosion of low-skilled jobs to the benefit of highly skilled jobs. This structural transformation in the economy poses a real risk of increased marginalization of low-skilled workers in the labour market. Within that context, this paper focusses on the implications for the development of higher education in response to the growing demand for highly skilled workers.
