09 November 2011
Young people are in a vulnerable state in the labour market, many of them lacking the skills, work experience, job-search abilities and financial resources to find employment. This brief looks at ways to improve the chances of young women and men already disadvantaged by their circumstances to enter or re-enter the labour market. It also draws from several key documents, chief among them: "Conclusions on promoting pathways to decent work for youth", International Labour Conference in 2005.

Employment Sector - Employment Report No. 14
26 October 2011
The report presents the latest global and regional labour market trends for youth and examines whether or not the situation that young people face in the labour market has improved or worsened over the year and a half since the release of the special edition of the Global Employment Trends for Youth, August 2010 on the impact of the economic crisis. 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.
