It also draws from several key documents, chief among them: "Conclusions on promoting pathways to decent work for youth", International Labour Conference in 2005.

One year later, with an environment of growing uncertainty in the economic recovery and stalled recovery in the job market, the report draws the unfortunate conclusion that the situation facing youth in the labour market has not improved and that prospects for the future are not much better.
