The Youth Employment Programme (YEP) provides assistance to countries in developing coherent and coordinated interventions on youth employment. Work in this area includes:
- data collection on the nature and dimensions of youth employment, unemployment and underemployment;
- analysis of the effectiveness of country policies and programmes on youth employment;
- policy advice to strengthen in-country labour market policies and programmes for youth employment and capacity building for governments and employers’ and workers’ organizations;
- technical assistance in formulating and implementing national youth employment programmes that focus on employment-intensive investment, skills development, youth entrepreneurship, access to finance and other targeted active labour market measures;
- advocacy and awareness-raising activities to promote decent work for youth with a focus on employability, employment creation and workers’ rights;
- advisory services through the YEN partnership, including evaluation clinics, support to YEN lead countries, and grant schemes for youth-led initiatives;
- strategic partnerships on youth employment through the promotion of cross-country and global peer networks, inter-Agency cooperation across United Nations and other international agencies, and collaboration between the private and public sectors at the international, regional and national levels.
