Thesis Research & Site Analysis

The severity of global youth unemployment and working poverty has rallied the international community and drawn attention to the need for high quality, relevant youth skills development, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals. Globally, over 70 million youth are unemployed, and 156 million young workers are living in poverty. For young people to successfully contribute to the growth of emerging economies, their skills need to be adaptable to both the changing nature of work and the various opportunities that become available to them. Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals is contingent on the ability of young people to effectively and successfully transition into the workforce and retain employment over time. Their ability to master soft skills is key to being able to successfully navigate the various pathways of work.
