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

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.

Emerging from decades of economic, social, and political isolation, Myanmar today shows potentials for advancing with a new developing paradigm based on inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Having embarked on an ambitious program of sweeping reforms to progressively integrate its economy with the global system, Myanmar is facing a period of transition which is inevitably characterized by challenges and opportunities.

To catch up the rapid growth, skill development is the crucial link to improve productivity, employment growth and socioeconomic development. The ILO Recommendation on Human Resources Development Recommendation 2004 (No. 195) provides guidance on the content of effective skills policies and systems. In 2009, the ILO drew on the agreed framework with the G20 Leaders to develop a training strategy to support innovation and growth. Countries that have succeeded in linking skills to productivity, employment and development have targeted three main objectives: matching supply to current demand for skills; helping workers and enterprises adjust to change; and anticipating and delivering skills needed in the future in order to sustain a dynamic development process.

This working paper discuss industry leadership of human resources development in Myanmar. It analyses the current supply of qualified human resources in Myanmar, mismatch between demand and supply by sector, as well as growth trends, investment climate and current policies and legislation. The paper provides recommendations to help narrow the gaps identified.

The 21st century has already brought remarkable technological achievements. The leading corporations of the digital age — including YouTube, Facebook and eBay — barely existed only a decade ago. The Human Genome Project was completed in 2003, the year Skype was first released. The first iPhone was launched in 2007 and in 2010 Google announced their first fully autonomous car. Yet, the benefits of these developments have not been widely shared.

Real median wages have stagnated in about half of all OECD countries since 2000, and have fallen even further behind growth in productivity. Between 1980 and 2000, each pound of UK gross domestic product (GDP) growth, for example, was accompanied by around 90 pence of median wage growth. Over the period 2000 to 2007, the equivalent number was 43 pence.

This report introduces a vision to the future of innovation and employment. While the concern over technological unemployment has so far proven to be exaggerated, the reason why human labour has prevailed relates to its ability to acquire new skills. Yet this will become increasingly challenging as new work requires a higher degree of cognitive abilities. At a time when technological change is happening even faster, a main hurdle for workers to adapt is thus the surging costs of education.

TVET institutions

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions play an important role in equipping young people to enter the world of work and in improving their employability throughout their careers. The Global KSP collects and shares information from TVET institutions on how they respond to changing labour market needs, adopt new training technologies, expand the outreach of their training, and improve the quality of their services including in the areas of governance, financing, teacher education, and industry partnerships.

Access to training

Thumbnail

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.

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.

Internal displacement and the development of informal settlements in Afghanistan are key humanitarian and development challenges for policy makers to address, and growing concerns in an uncertain context of transition. This third research study by Samuel Hall on the living conditions and protection concerns of internally displaced persons (IDPs) contributes to the knowledge base required to mainstream protection in humanitarian and development priorities and interventions.

There are over 50 informal settlements in Kabul (KIS) where mainly returnee and IDP households live in extreme poverty and vulnerability. The working population in KIS can be identified as low-skilled and economically disadvantaged workers. In such a context, skills upgrading can be an effective policy intervention to strengthen the local integration of the working poor and can lead to poverty reduction in KIS. Thus, vocational training may lead to increased productivity and higher income next to the working poor in KIS, if it is designed based on the realities of the labour market in Kabul.

This study is part of the National Skills Sector Development Programme 2014-2020 (SSDP) This paper attempts to review conditions of demand and supply related to skills development in four industrial sectors that the government of Sri Lanka has ear-marked for long term development. They are the information and communication technology industry (ICT), the tourism and hospitality industry (THI), construction and light engineering. These four sectors accounted for 9 per cent of GDP and 10 per cent of total employment in 2012. The IT and tourism industries are projected to earn US 5 billion each in 2022. The two sectors have also revealed their potential for high growth in terms of value addition and employment. The growth potential of sub-sectors belonging to these two service sectors are linked to export markets, while the growth potential of the construction and light engineering sectors are largely determined by product market conditions of the domestic market. Using already available secondary data in the form of survey data, administrative data, and published reports, the present paper assesses the training gaps in these four sectors using standard skills assessment methodologies.

The transformation of the Saudi Arabian economy is one of the success stories of the past few decades. The path of its development has been a particularly unique one, which requires rigorous analysis to understand the current situation and the way forward to continue its prosperity. In this context, the Ministry of Labor has a goal to enhance the skills of the Saudi workforce, especially for the youth. Indeed, the principal mechanism by which Saudi Arabia seeks to specifically address its challenge of youth unemployment. A particular focus has been driving greater job readiness for the private sector, where the majority of workers are currently foreign workers. For youth there are key skill development programs, namely Career Education, On the Job training and Colleges of Excellence, whilst there are also courses targeted at wider participation. This plan introduces the current successes and challenges of Employment in Saudi Arabia.

Part of the international project on Leveraging Training and Skills in SMEs This report presents the findings and analysis of the research conducted in Turkey as part of the international project on Leveraging Training and Skills in SMEs. The project has been implemented by the Local Employment and Economic Development (LEED) Programme at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in collaboration with the Small and Medium Entreprise Development and Support Organisation (KOSGEB) in Turkey. The study in Turkey focused on the OSTIM Organised Industrial Zone in Ankara, which, similar to the other industrial zones, provides necessary infrastructure dedicated to manufacturing companies.

The project mainly investigated both the formal/vocational education and training (VET), and informal learning resulting from daily activities of firms related to work that is not organised in terms of objectives, time or learning support (the so-called 'Knowledge Intensive Service Activities' or KISA). The research conducted for this purpose consisted of the questionnaire surveys (which were responded to by 108 SMEs in OSTIM), the in-depth interviews with five randomly selected firms, and the workshop organised with the stakeholders of trainings and skills development ecosystem. Since OSTIM has four industrial clusters (namely, construction and engineering machines cluster, medical industry cluster, defence industry cluster and renewable energy cluster), developed since 2007, the research also included a comparative analysis of these clusters.

As part of the European Commission’s support for the preparation of the second cycle of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II), the ETF is facilitating the process in the enlargement countries through the FUTURE FRAME initiative. In Turkey there is a long tradition of technology foresight, and a nationwide exercise involving an extensive and broad range of stakeholders had already been undertaken in the country starting from 2003 to develop ‘Vision 2023’. The FRAME initiative has therefore focused its efforts on defining a skills vision and roadmap, identifying key targets and priority measures for the human resources development (HRD) sector within Vision 2023. The review of institutional arrangements (RIA) and monitoring components have been approached in a similar way and the results are presented in this report. This report is intended primarily as a preparatory input to IPA II programming, and to specifically inform the Country Strategy Paper for Turkey.

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.

This report was produced in the framework of the project, ‘Skills for green jobs’ Since Korea’s Green Growth National Vision announcement in August 2008, Korea is attracting global attention to its comprehensive nation-wide policy measures and implementation efforts. This report particularly presents the changes in the labour market due to greening initiatives and skills development strategies for emerging green jobs. The objectives of this report are:

1) To explain major policy measures including general environmental strategy towards a green growth, green response to the current economic crisis, and skills development strategy in response to greening in Korea;
2) To discuss the green structural change and its impact on the labour market, and to outline the plans that Korea has put in place for skills response;
3) To present case studies that show actual examples of skills response to green economy in various sectors; and
4) To discuss the general issues, challenges and limitations of the current approach and suggest policy recommendations.

This working paper has been prepared as part of the project Climate Change, employment and Local Development undertaken the auspices of the OECD LEED Directing Committee, within the framework of the OECD’s Green Growth Strategy. The impacts of climate change, and especially subsequent mitigation and adaptation policies, on labour markets are still largely unknown despite the recent demand for knowledge production and diffusion on this topic and the increasing avalanche of reports and studies from public and private organisations as well as from community groups. The search for alternative models of growth in the midst of the financial crisis has increased the interest in the ‘green growth paradigm’. This paper discusses some of the impacts of climate change including its regulation on labour markets, the dynamics of green growth at the levels of jobs and skills development, and the local implications for mitigation and enabling green growth. Although the paper does not provide all the answers to the green enigma (green jobs will come but how?), it argues that much benefit will come from focusing efforts on the skills transformation tools and initiatives.
