https://lnkd.in/dAeUa93j In 2022-23, the survey assessed adults aged 16-65 in 31 countries and economies. Italy participated in the Survey of Adult Skills for the second time in 2022-23 (its first participation was in 2011-12). By comparing results over time and with those of other participating countries and economies, Italy can: --> track the skill levels of its adult population, --> pinpoint barriers to skill development and use, --> and craft effective policies to address these challenges.

And just like that, after a decade-long wait, the first set of results from the next iteration of the OECD Survey of Adult Skills is out! Read the report here: https://oe.cd/5QQ Also today, we published research using the new PIAAC Employer Module -- a survey of employers on skill gaps in firms.

👏 An OECD Youth Policy Toolkit to improve opportunities for young people and gain a deeper understanding of how they can play a signigicant rol in public policy and also what challenges they face. ➕ you can find some good practices from differetent OECD countries that may inspire you!

How can governments create better opportunities for young people? The OECD has unveiled a new Youth Policy Toolkit—a comprehensive resource designed to inspire governments, policymakers, and organisations with practical guidance to improve opportunities for young people. The Toolkit reflects diverse characteristics of young people and covers policy areas such as: ➡️ Skills and competencies ➡️ Youth labour market outcomes and entrepreneurship ➡️ Young people’s social and health outcomes ➡️ Young people’s trust in government and relationship with public institutions ➡️ Administrative and technical capacities to address age-based inequalities Discover more: https://oe.cd/5Ok | #OECD4Youth

What can be done to tackle skills inequality and support all workers to have the right skills for the future? ✍ Our Head of UK Policy and Practice, Jude Hillary, looks at the types of skills we could be lacking for our future workforce, and how we might obtain them. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ef_xxnTB

Young people have more time ahead of them. Any policy decision made today will affect them at some point in their lives. This is why we argued that youth should be at the heart of policy and decision making in LaoPDR’s sixth National Human Development Report which we launched two years ago - https://lnkd.in/gMUuVXin This is even more critical when more than half of its population are under the age of 25. #internationalyouthday

Across OECD countries, more than 12% of young people aged 15-29 are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). Investing in more and better-quality jobs, as well as guaranteeing labour rights and adequate pay is necessary to foster better labour outcomes for young people. OECD’s Youth Policy Toolkit provides practical guidance and inspiring policy examples of how to support young people in their transition into the labour market.

It is clear that current intervention in South Africa to address youth unemployment are not working. A new narrative with "out-of-the-box" interventions are vitally needed.
