The International Labour Organisation's 20th Global Employment Trends for Youth report reveals that continuing high rates of 15- to-24-year-olds who are not in employment, education or training, and insufficient growth of decent jobs are causing anxiety among today's youth, who are also the most educated youth cohort ever. This year's report also looks back at what has been achieved in this century to improve young people's working prospects and considers the future for youth employment in an era characterised by crises and uncertainties. Looking at longer-term trends, it concludes that there are not enough high-skilled jobs for the supply of educated youth and highlights that keeping skills development on pace with developing demands for green and digital skills will be critical to reducing education mismatches.
