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.

Report prepared for the G20 Employment Working Group with inputs from The International Monetary Fund This paper aims to set out the challenges confronting G20 economies and to develop a proposal for a set of concrete actionable measures to improve the employability of each economy’s workforce, making skills more transferable and workplaces more adaptable. The paper begins with an overview of the major challenges that are putting jobs at jeopardy and which risk widening existing inequalities and further marginalising disadvantaged groups in the labour market. The key policy responses that are required to meet these challenges are then set out according to four key areas: i) Anticipating emerging skill needs and adapting policies accordingly; ii) Reinforcing the role of training and work-based learning; iii) Enhancing the adaptability of workplaces; and iv) Promoting labour mobility. Under each area, a selection of informative country policy examples is provided and some general policy principles are identified, drawing on these examples for inspiration.

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.

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.

Young people are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in economic trends. Youth employment is therefore high on the policy agenda of those concerned with promoting social inclusion. While youth-targeted employment policies tend to combine both demand-side and supply-side approaches, it is important to recognise that traditional notions of ‘work’ have more recently been challenged and reconceptualised. The old assumptions about gender roles, ‘job security’ and ‘planned careers’ have thus been transformed by the profound economic and social changes of recent decades.

The essays collected in this publication were developed from papers first delivered at a research seminar on youth employment organised by a partnership between the Council of Europe and the European Commission in the field of youth. They represent a diverse and, at times, provocative collection of analytic snapshots of the position of young people on the European labour market.

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.

2015 was a record year as 163 000 asylum seekers arrived in Sweden to seek shelter, the highest per-capita inflow ever registered in an OECD country. A significant share of these asylum seekers are expected to receive international protection. Favourable labour market conditions and highly developed and longstanding integration policies ensured that Sweden was well prepared to deal with this sudden increase. Existing integration measures have been scaled up and several new initiatives launched – including a fast-track initiative to integrate skilled refugees into shortage occupations. This review examines the skills and labour market situation of immigrants and their children in the context outlined above.

The remainder of the report is structured as follows: The report starts with an assessment and recommendations. Chapter 1 presents an overview of context in which integration in Sweden takes place – the labour market context and the background and composition of Sweden’s foreign-born population. Chapter 2 sets out the framework for the settlement of newly-arrived refugees in Sweden and outlines the core policies at the heart of early integration efforts. Chapter 3 examines the routes through which migrants can acquire and build the skills that are necessary in Swedish society and on Swedish labour markets before Chapter 4 turns to the employer demand for these skills and how policy is working to strengthen this demand. Finally Chapter 5 looks at the mechanisms through which skills supply is matched to skill demand in order to ensure that migrants are able to find employment that makes appropriate use of the skills, qualifications and experience.

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.

The concept of NEETs refers to young people (15-29 or 15-24 years old) who currently do not have a job, do not participate in training or are not students. These young people are considered ‘at risk’ as they are jobless and/or inactive and lack access to learning opportunities. They also risk disengagement from the labour market and often from society in general.

Many ETF partner countries have paid little attention to the NEET phenomenon so far, focusing mainly on the problem of unemployed youth. However, as preliminary ETF analyses demonstrate, the focus on unemployed youth underestimates the extent of their potential vulnerability. Expanding the focus from unemployed youth to those not in employment, education or training can provide a better insight into the challenges that young people face and inform the development of policies that contribute to a better future for them and for their countries. This document presents the key findings on NEETS in the ETF partner countries.
