Guide on Measuring Decent Jobs for Youth: Monitoring, evaluation and learning in labour market programmes

The Guide on Measuring Decent Jobs for Youth will be launched at the Innovations for Decent Jobs for Youth event on 2 May at the ILO in Geneva. The seven part volume is the first comprehensive guidance to evaluating, monitoring and learning in labour market programmes targeting young people.

Briefing note | 02 May 2018
The Guide aims to equip ILO constituents and stakeholders with a full set of concepts and tools needed to make informed decisions about how to best measure and evaluate the results of youth employment programmes. It
contributes to the evidence base for “what works” in youth employment and thereby advances the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Guide offers direction on a wide range of evaluation methods and encourages users to select the most appropriate design feasible in the context of their youth employment intervention. Each note contains a case study, live stories of youth employment practitioners grappling with challenges of M&E.
