Generation “U”: The Plight of 75 Million Unemployed Youth

The problem of youth unemployment is a ticking time bomb scenario, making one wonder if being young is really an advantage and whether such a large group of disgruntled youth will hold the key to the future of nations. The solutions to the youth unemployment problem are oft-repeated in many a forum: prioritizing youth-centric policies, structuring continuous skill development programs, developing curricula in touch with the latest needs of the industry, bringing out nationally and internationally accepted skill certification systems, matching skill sets of individuals with the relevant jobs, granting fiscal incentives to the industry for skilling and employing the youth, and promoting entrepreneurial skills amongst youth.

European Union. Evaluation and monitoring of vocational education and training systems and the role of evidence-based policy in their reforms

Policymakers are increasingly interested in what education delivers and hence, in what education research can tell us about it. The need for such information is even more acute in countries in transition, where donor-financed VET reforms have radically changed systems. Given the scarce resources for education reform, the importance it holds for national policymakers and the diversity of opinions and approaches within the technical assistance community, the ability to assess what works in VET is critical. As a result, policy analysis and policy research are increasingly prioritised.
