Case Studies on Youth Employment in Fragile Situations 2

What is it?

This publication provides examples of best practices from around the world, showcasing innovative approaches to youth employment that help to build peace and resilience in fragile and conflict affected situations.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Conflict disrupts every aspect of life and creates additional barriers for young people who are disproportionately affected by unemployment and low quality jobs.
  • Limited opportunities for decent work prevent youth from properly transitioning into adulthood and exacerbates political, social and economic exclusion.
  • Investing in youth employment in fragile and conflict situations is therefore a priority for boosting labour market outcomes, and decent living situations, for some of the world’s most vulnerable young people.
