Focusing on youth employment issues within the context of globalization

Today, globalization and employment and skills development for the future of our youth are global issues. To address these issues, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, together with the ILO and the United Nations University, are organizing a two-day international symposium. With the participation of the Director-General of the ILO, representatives of the government, employers, and labor unions of Japan and other Asian countries, and people of academic experts, we will hold high-level discussions and publicize the conclusions of the discussions to the rest of the world. It is our sincere hope that the symposium would serve as a catalyst for bringing people together, from the government, the private sector, and other circles, for realizing "fair globalization" and "society in which young people can participate actively in the working life."
We cordially invite you to attend the symposium.
