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.

El crecimiento económico y social que ha experimentado el Perú en los últimos 10 años requiere de políticas orientadas a la sostenibilidad de los logros alcanzados especialmente para fomentar una productividad creciente, factor determinante de la competitividad de la economía y del mejoramiento de los ingresos laborales.

El presente documento busca presentar opciones para la configuración de un Sistema Nacional de Formación Profesional y Capacitación Laboral en el Perú, entendiéndose por él al espacio de formación para el trabajo. En este sentido su público objetivo es no sólo la Población económicamente activa si no la Población en edad de trabajar. Es decir incluye a los potenciales trabajadores. Dicha población constituye la demanda por los servicios de formación para el trabajo y a su interior se presentará especial atención en aquellos colectivos que se encuentren en condiciones de vulnerabilidad: jóvenes y mujeres con un nivel educativo que no excede los estudios secundarios y población que trabaja en zonas rurales.

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.

En este documento se identifican y analizan los principales logros y obstáculos de las mujeres para ingresar y desarrollarse en el mercado de trabajo en igualdad con los hombres, por ser un componente fundamental para obtener ingresos propios y lograr su autonomía económica.

El documento sostiene que los programas de capacitación tienen un potencial positivo para mejorar la empleabilidad de las mujeres, la estabilidad laboral, las trayectorias laborales ascendentes y los salarios, en particular para las mujeres cuyo abanico de posibilidades laborales es significativamente más reducido que el de los hombres. Entre los principales beneficios, la formación profesional facilita la inserción laboral y la reinserción de personas cesantes o con prolongados tiempos de inactividad, desempleo o salidas del mercado de trabajo producto de la maternidad o el cuidado infantil, entre otras causas.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

In the 1990s and early to mid-2000s, an economic boom sparked a surge of immigration to Spain. Many newcomers quickly found jobs in areas like construction and domestic services, and as a result, the boom became a disincentive to investing in large-scale, coordinated labor market integration efforts. When the economic crisis of 2008 disproportionately hit those in temporary and informal work, including many immigrants, it revealed the underlying gaps in the policy framework meant to support labor market integration in Spain.

This report examines how well recent policies are working to fill these gaps to help immigrants move into more stable work. It provides an overview of the labor market and integration policy in Spain and assesses the effectiveness of these policies, focusing on employment services, language education, and vocational training. Finally, the report concludes with recommendations for further policy refinement, including improved recognition of foreign credentials and easier access to employment services and training.

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.

Ukrainian migrant workers acquire various skills beyond vocational training institutions while performing jobs abroad. However, after their return to Ukraine they often have no relevant certificate or other documentary proof of newly acquired skills, thus limiting their employment prospects. Therefore the validation of informal learning is of high importance to returning migrant workers. The publication gives recommendations regarding the system of validation of informal learning and how to implement it in Ukraine.
