We bring to your attention a selection of documents issued by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Since 2014 July 15 has been celebrated as the World Youth Skills Day. The day was introduced by the UN General Assembly to celebrate the importance of teaching youth skills they need to get decent jobs and entrepreneurship.
Rising youth unemployment is one of the most serious problems facing society in the modern world in developed and developing countries. Since 2017 there has been an increase in the number of young people not in the labour force and not receiving education or skills. This global day provides a unique opportunity for dialogue between youth, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, firms, employers' and workers' organizations, policy makers and development partners.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) helps various countries to cope with problems of unemployment. Today we want to present you a selection of documents of this organization from our library:
