Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

Education in an Interconnected World: Ensuring inclusive and equitable development.

The 2018 Global Education Meeting will review progress towards the global education targets and commitments in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Global Meeting will bring the global community together to take stock of progress and identify strategic priority areas requiring political guidance and intervention for the effective achievement of the global Education 2030 Agenda.

This high-level gathering will be a milestone in the assessment of education policies, strategies and challenges in preparation for the 2019 High Level Political Forum (HLPF). The 2019 HLPF will review in-depth the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) focusing on Education (SDG4). As such, the 2019 HLPF theme “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality” will frame discussions at the GEM. Focus will be given to the inter-linkages between SDG 4 and Goals 8 (Decent work and economic growth), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 13 (Climate action) and 16 (Peace, justice and strong Institutions), paying particular attention to the issue of migration, displacement and refugees.

The Global Education Meeting will gather some 300 participants including UN agencies and affiliated organizations, multilateral and bilateral agencies, regional organizations, the teaching profession, civil society organizations, the private sector, foundations, as well as youth and student representatives among others.

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

Topics:

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.

This policy brief provides insights into the various construction projects supervised by the Employment Intensive Investment Program of the International Labour Organization in favour of Indigenous and Tribal People. Indigenous and Tribal People account for 5% of the population but 15% of the World´s poor. Despite dedicated policy frameworks and development programs, they continue to belong to the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in rural areas. The Employment Intensive Investment Program (EIIP) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) advocates for integrated infrastructure development programs promoting employment that can benefit Indigenous and Tribal People. This policy brief provides insights into the various construction projects supervised by the EIIP in favour of Indigenous and Tribal People.

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.

This landscape review seeks to explore how technology solutions outside of the education sector can be designed to be more inclusive, accessible and usable for people with low levels of skills and literacy; what skills such people need to utilize effectively inclusive digital solutions; and what key characteristics of the overall environment are needed for successful implementation of more inclusive solutions. It is important to note that low literacy in this review includes young people and adults who are illiterate in the sense that they cannot read or write.

The landscape review aims to inform the work of digital solution providers, development partners and governments – to move towards the development and implementation of more inclusive digital solutions and raise awareness of the skills needed to use them.

People with disabilities

Thumbnail

Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.

Demographics, automation and inequality have the potential to dramatically reshape our world in the 2020s and beyond. The analysis presented in this report shows that the collision of these forces could trigger economic disruption far greater than we have experienced over the past 60 years. The aim of this publication by Bain’s Macro Trends Group is to detail how the impact of aging populations, the adoption of new automation technologies and rising inequality will likely combine to give rise to new business risks and opportunities. These gathering forces already pose challenges for businesses and investors. In the next decade, they will combine to create an economic climate of increasing ex¬tremes but may also trigger a decade-plus investment boom.

In the US, a new wave of investment in automation could stimulate as much as $8 trillion in incremental investments and abruptly lift interest rates. By the end of the 2020s, automation may eliminate 20% to 25% of current jobs, hitting middle- to low-income workers the hardest. As investments peak and then decline— probably around the end of the 2020s to the start of the 2030s—anemic demand growth is likely to constrain economic expansion, and global interest rates may again test zero percent. Faced with market imbalances and growth-stifling levels of inequality, many societies may reset the government’s role in the marketplace.

The analysis and business insights in this report can help leaders put these changes in context and consider the effects they will have on their companies, their industries and the global economy.

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.

FOP_Readiness_Report_2018.pdf

World Economic Forum in collaboration with A.T. Kearney

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution gathers momentum, decision-makers from the public and private sectors are confronted with a new set of uncertainties regarding the future of production. Rapidly emerging technologies—such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, wearables, robotics and additive manufacturing—are spurring the development of new production techniques, business models, and value chains that will fundamentally transform global production. Both the speed and scope of change add a layer of complexity to the already challenging task of developing and implementing industrial strategies that promote productivity and inclusive growth. The report seeks to build awareness on the factors and conditions required to transform production systems and help countries assess readiness for the future.

The report analyses and presents the results of the first edition of the Readiness for the Future of Production Assessment, which measures how well positioned 100 countries and economies—across all geographies and stages of development—are to shape and benefit from the changing nature of production through the adoption of emerging technology. It serves as a new benchmarking and diagnostic tool to catalyse multi-stakeholder dialogue, shape joint actions and inform the development of modern industrial strategies.

América Latina y el Caribe es una región sumamente diversa, pero a la vez una que tiene una serie de retos comunes. La Oficina Regional para América Latina y el Caribe ha hecho un esfuerzo por capturar y resumir los principales retos de la región vistos desde la perspectiva de la promoción del empleo productivo, el trabajo decente y la justicia social, y de agrupar la visión resultante en tres áreas prioritarias de trabajo.

El resultado es el presente documento que agrupa las diferentes líneas de trabajo en tres grandes áreas prioritarias: (1) Políticas de desarrollo productivo para el crecimiento inclusivo con más y mejores empleos, (2) Promover el tránsito a la formalidad y (3) Promover el respeto y aplicación de las normas internacionales de trabajo (NITs) y de la legislación del trabajo.

Por ese motivo esta publicación contiene tres documentos, uno para cada una de las prioridades. Cada documento analiza en un breve diagnóstico la situación y tendencias de los países de la región en cada una de ellas, explica su alineamiento con los mandatos y prioridades globales de la OIT, así como su contribución a la ejecución del programa y presupuesto de la Organización, y plantea las principales direcciones estratégicas para el trabajo en cada tema en la región.

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.
