Area of critical importance on jobs and skills for youth

The document presents the main elements of the strategy of the area of critical importance (ACI) “Jobs and skills for youth”. It focuses on identifying interventions that “work for youth employment” and the circumstances in which this is the case. It is intended to support member States in the implementation of the conclusions of “The youth employment crisis: A call for action” adopted by the International Labour Conference in June 2012. This strategy covers the biennium 2014–15. It seeks guidance from the Governing Body on focus and strategic orientation (see the draft decision in paragraph 29).
