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.

Tendências para o desenvolvimento da Atividade pecuária leiteira no Brasil: segmento da Bovinocultura de leite - produção

Para a consecução do estudo pelo SENAR, a atividade econômica escolhida para a aplicação do Modelo foi a Bovinocultura de Leite. No Brasil, essa atividade está presente na maioria dos estabelecimentos agropecuários e contribui majoritariamente para a formação do valor da produção agropecuária, sendo imprescindível para a manutenção do Produto Interno Bruno tanto do agronegócio como nacional, impactando fortemente na balança comercial e principalmente no mercado de trabalho. Além disso, este segmento possui sua importância refletida em diversos programas de curta, média e longa duração do SENAR, inclusive de ensino profissional de nível técnico, oferecidos por meio dos Centros de Formação Técnica do SENAR.

Todas essas ofertas sinalizam uma atuação voltada para o atendimento de excelência, porém, sabe-se que a demanda é crescente e requer soluções educacionais diferenciadas para cada tipo e porte de produtor rural.

Lifelong learning

Thumbnail

There is a critical need for a greater overall investment in education and training, particularly in developing countries. Education and training investments should be closely linked to economic and employment growth strategies and programmes. Responsibility should be shared between the government (primary responsibility), enterprises, the social partners, and the individual. To make lifelong learning for all a reality, countries will need to make major reforms of their vocational and education and training systems. School-to-work schemes for young people should integrate education with workplace learning. Training systems need to become more flexible and responsive to rapidly changing skill requirements. Reforms should also focus on how learning can be facilitated, not just on training for specific occupational categories.

En pocos ámbitos dentro del amplio espectro que cubre el desarrollo de las competencias de las personas se ha tenido una acción y un acuerdo tan explícito, como en la necesidad de reconocer y certificar las competencias sin importar como fueron adquiridas.

En este título se ha querido presentar una selección de experiencias relacionadas con los procesos de evaluación y certificación de competencias. Son muchos los países donde actualmente se lleva a cabo el reconocimiento de competencias previamente adquiridas. No ha sido posible recoger en este volumen todos los casos, pero sin detrimento de que pueda dedicarse otra publicación a las experiencias que aún restan, aquí se presenta una variedad de enfoques y prácticas que muestran la singularidad del mecanismo de certificación como elemento para hacer realidad la formación a lo largo de la vida. Al efecto, este volumen recoge los sistemas y políticas de certificación de competencia laboral en Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, México y Uruguay.

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.

Les Perspectives de l’OCDE sur les compétences 2015 : Les jeunes, les compétences et l’employabilité font apparaître clairement que là où le système éducatif et le marché du travail coexistent séparément, il s’avère particulièrement ardu pour les jeunes de réussir le passage de l’un à l’autre. L’insertion dans le monde du travail se fait d’autant mieux que les systèmes éducatifs sont souples et à même de s’adapter aux besoins du marché du travail, que les employeurs interviennent tant dans la conception que dans l’application des programmes d’enseignement, que les jeunes ont accès à des services d’orientation et à une formation continue de qualité qui les aident à mettre leurs compétences en adéquation avec les emplois qui s’offrent à eux, et que les obstacles institutionnels à l’entrée dans la vie active – y compris pour ceux qui disposent des compétences adéquates – ont été levés.

Skills policies and strategies

Skills and employment policies should be viewed together.  The full value of one policy set is realized when it supports the objectives of the other.  For investments in education and training to yield maximum benefit to workers, enterprises, and economies, countries’ capacities for coordination is critical in three areas: connecting basic education to technical training and then to market entry; ensuring continuous communication between employers and training providers so that training meets the needs and aspirations of workers and enterprises, and integrating skills development policies with industrial, investment, trade, technology, environmental, rural and local development policies.

Education is the process of initiating and preparing man through training. It provides desirable and worthwhile broad and in depth modes of thought, skills, attitudes and understanding needed for the full development of the human thinking and actions. Education makes man aware of his own potential and responsibility to change and improve his own condition and that of his society; it embodies within it science and technology.

In the light of this, the following policy focuses on issues of establishment of schools and expansion of education and training opportunities; access and equity; curriculum, examinations and certification; teacher education; tertiary and higher education and training; educational financing, and management and administration are proposed with the aim of guiding Formal, Non-Formal, Vocational, Tertiary and Higher Education and Training, as well as, the promotion of Science and Technology in the country.

Young people around the world are struggling to enter the labour market. In some OECD countries, one in four 16-29 year-olds is neither employed nor in education or training. The OECD Skills Outlook 2015 shows how improving the employability of youth requires a comprehensive approach. While education , social, and labour market policies have key roles to play, co-ordination between public policies and the private sector is also crucial. The publication, which builds on the results of the 2012 Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) presented in the first edition of the Skills Outlook, also presents examples of successful policies in selected countries.

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

Migrant workers

Thumbnail

According to the ILO global estimates on migrant workers, there were around 164 million migrant workers in 2017. 

Migrant workers contribute to growth and development in their countries of destination, while countries of origin greatly benefit from their remittances and the skills acquired during their migration experience. Yet, many migrant workers face challenges in accessing quality training and decent jobs including under-utilization of skills, a lack of employment or training opportunities, lack of information, and exploitation of low-skilled workers.

To address these challenges, countries need to strengthen skills anticipation systems to inform migration policies, increase access to education and training, and establish bilateral or multilateral recognition of qualifications and skills.

Project: The Labour Market Integration of New Arrivals in Europe Over the past 15 years, migration in Europe has changed considerably. The economic boom in the early and mid-2000s and expanded mobility owing to European Union enlargement helped create new populations of migrants from both within and beyond the European Union. These recent migrants are more educated than earlier arrivals and many are highly skilled. Against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, which profoundly affected many migrant-receiving countries in Europe, governments are grappling with questions of how to ensure that immigrants are able to find employment and progress into better jobs over time.

This overview report caps a series of six country case studies evaluating the employment outcomes for foreign-born workers in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The study examines how easy it is for newcomers in the European Union to establish themselves in destination-country labor markets in the first ten years after arrival, and how well they are able to move out of unskilled work and into middle-skilled jobs.

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

Migrant workers

According to the ILO global estimates on migrant workers, there were around 164 million migrant workers in 2017. 

Migrant workers contribute to growth and development in their countries of destination, while countries of origin greatly benefit from their remittances and the skills acquired during their migration experience. Yet, many migrant workers face challenges in accessing quality training and decent jobs including under-utilization of skills, a lack of employment or training opportunities, lack of information, and exploitation of low-skilled workers.

To address these challenges, countries need to strengthen skills anticipation systems to inform migration policies, increase access to education and training, and establish bilateral or multilateral recognition of qualifications and skills.

The Swedish economy has emerged from the economic turbulence of recent years in a relatively strong position. But not all groups are performing well. Youth with limited education and non-European immigrants are groups that are growing in size, and that face difficulties competing in the labor market. The difference in the employment rates of the native and foreign born in Sweden is among the largest recorded in the OECD. To improve its long-term prospect, Sweden faces the challenge of better facilitating new arrival’s labor market integration.

This report describes how Sweden is trying to overcome these labor market integration challenges and analyses how successful its workforce development and integration policies have been in helping immigrants progress from unskilled or low-skilled work to middle-skilled jobs. It first discusses the structural conditions of the labor market and how these affect labor market integration, then analyses policies to support labor market integration (employment services, skills recognition services, language training, and vocational training), and concludes by offering some recommendations.
