MDG-Fund Joint Programme on Alternatives to Migration: Decent Jobs for Filipino Youth

Funded by the Government of Spain through the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund (MDG-F), the Joint Programme on 'Alternatives to Migration: Decent Jobs for Filipino Youth', more commonly known as the Joint Programme on Youth Employment and Migration (YEM) highlights the importance of making decent work accessible. The quality and quantity of the work available are equally important when it comes to poverty reduction. Promoting access to education and skills development opportunities can help young people avoid vulnerable forms of employment and poverty.
