Introduction
The youth employment challenge is significant yet surmountable. We envision a world where young individuals everywhere can earn fair incomes in environments of security, dignity, and equality. Securing decent jobs for young people is crucial for the prosperity of our communities, nations, and global society. Such jobs are key to fulfilling the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Investing in youth employment demands a collaborative strategy, prioritising job creation while addressing challenges like skills mismatch and discrimination.
Efforts should advance job growth and skills development, simplify self-employment, and improve working conditions, social protection, and workplace rights.
