Policies for youth employment: A global framework to tackle the youth jobs crisis

The current jobs crisis has hit young people especially hard. The ILO urges policy makers to work together with social partners to address this alarming situation. The 2013 edition of the ILO's Global Employment Trends for Youth report analyses a number of key policies and action that can be taken. Gianni Rosas, coordinator of the ILO Youth Employment Programme and co-author of the Report, calls for 'a strong focus on growth and jobs, including through a more coordinated macroeconomic response at national and global levels'.
