Welcome to YouthPOL!
YouthPOL is a global database on policies for youth employment.
Information on existing policy measures affecting youth employment represents an important knowledge base for policy-makers seeking to promote decent work for youth. YouthPOL collects such information and makes it available to users such as decision-makers, researchers, youth employment experts and the general public across the world. The database contains information on policies that have an impact on the employment of young people and youth-targeted policy measures.
It is the first time that such data are compiled and disseminated at a global scale.
YouthPOL collects and analyses information about youth employment according to six policy areas:

YouthPOL collects and analyses information about youth employment according to six policy areas:
- Macroeconomic and sectoral policy
- Labour demand
- Enterprise development
- Education and training
- Labour law and legislation
- Labour market policy
The design and operationalization of the infrastructure of the database is supported by funding from the ILO’s Programme on Youth Employment (YEP) and the “Work4Youth” (W4Y) project - a partnership between the ILO and The MasterCard Foundation.
The ILO is seeking additional sponsors to establish a broad-based partnership on collection and analysis of data and information on policies for youth employment. Support is required for collecting the country data, analyzing trends, developing country profiles and conducting comparative analysis by region, group of countries and specific youth employment themes or policy areas.
YouthPOL is a work in progress and is constantly being updated. Its interactive nature ensures that the content reflects the most updated youth employment policy provisions in place around the world.
