A recent study by the\u00a0International Labour Organisation\u00a0(ILO)\u00a0on youths and the future of work looked at how youths envisage their working lives within the next 10 years. Many of those interviewed viewed their future with fear and uncertainty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost 64 million youths are\u00a0unemployed and one in four youths are neither in the job market nor in education or training.\u00a0 This is within the context of\u00a0a dearth of job opportunities and the challenges of the informal economy, which is the situation faced by many youths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Youths want jobs with decent pay that\u00a0open up opportunities to a better life, training that leads to such opportunities and a social system that helps them achieve their aims. They also want to make their voice heard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While many youths are\u00a0doing well and succeeding, many others are stuck in circumstances where they have no opportunity, no guidance and no reason to grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is to everyone\u2019s\u00a0detriment if the energy and creativity that youths have are not nurtured. The creation of safe spaces for youths on the job market is a way forward in the creation of an environment where youths can learn to tackle a range of challenges, from employability to entrepreneurship, organisation and respect of their rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These safe spaces need to be inclusive\u00a0and\u00a0need to\u00a0be respective of and\u00a0ensure the youths\u2019 dignity\u00a0irrespective of race, sex, religion, nationality or ideology. This requires innovation, continued commitment, concrete action and, above all, contact with youths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Government, trade unions, employers and their organisations, as well as communities and others can do a great deal to support and develop the spaces that provide youths with physical and psychological security to learn, develop their skills and share their ideas and experiences within a constructive environment.\u00a0\u00a0Through social dialogue, entities can communicate with youths regarding issues that are central to their lives and their future prospects, with the aim of identifying adequate solutions to meet their needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
