Download or read book Securitizing Youth written by Marisa O. Ensor and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Securitizing Youth offers new insights on young people’s engagement in a wide range of contexts related to the peace and security field. It presents empirical findings on the challenges and opportunities faced by young women and men in their efforts to build more peaceful, inclusive, and environmentally secure societies. The chapters included in this edited volume examine the diversity and complexity of young people’s engagement for peace and security in different countries across the globe and in different types and phases of conflict and violence, including both conflict-affected and relatively peaceful societies. Chapter contributors, young peacebuilders, and seasoned scholars and practitioners alike propose ways to support youth’s agency and facilitate their meaningful participation in decision-making. The chapters are organized around five broad thematic issues that correspond to the 5 Pillars of Action identified by UN Security Council Resolution 2250. Lessons learned are intended to inform the global youth, peace, and security agenda so that it better responds to on-the-ground realities, hence promoting more sustainable and inclusive approaches to long-lasting peace.
Download or read book Employment and Inclusive Development written by Rizwanul Islam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues relating to employment and labour have once again come to the fore of global policy debates in the wake of the widespread unemployment that has accompanied the current financial crisis. In the developing world, there is a growing realization that productive employment promotion and social protection have to be at the core of inclusive growth and development. This book supports the view that employment is a cross-cutting issue shaped by macroeconomic and microeconomic policy interventions, and provides a capacious framework to analyse the complexity of this global debate. It covers a wide range of issues that have received insufficient attention in the discourse of development and labour economics. These include the impact of macroeconomic policies on employment, labour rights, the development of human capabilities and employability, youth employment, the benefits and costs of labour market flexibility, and the importance of social protection for all. This important book aims at filling this gap by revisiting old debates and reconnecting them to the contemporary context, combining analyses with relevant empirical evidence. It will appeal to a diverse readership of academic institutions and think-tanks, international organizations, bilateral donors working on development issues and policy-makers in developing countries.
Download or read book New Policies for the Young written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ; [Washington D.C. : OECD Publications and Information Center. This book was released on 1985 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review was undertaken of the serious problem of youth unemployment in the countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (most of the countries of Europe and the United States), and the means for dealing with it in the longer term. The study found that youth unemployment has been a major concern since the mid-1970s, rising with each downturn of the economy, and failing to recover with economic recovery. Today, unemployment for disadvantaged youth has increased, but so has unemployment among better-educated and better-trained young people, especially for those born in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Labor force participation rates for youth have dropped in nearly all the countries, especially among teenagers. Young women have experienced similar rates of unemployment as young men; however, causes are subtle and often relate to the types of jobs for which girls are trained. Nations should adapt policies to help youths find employment. One solution is economic growth, but even an annual growth of 4 percent will not solve the youth umemployment problem for about five years. Consequently, shorter-term policies, such as school or travel grants or government-sponsored jobs, are needed to help youth. Especially at risk are disabled youth, whose unemployment problem is even worse than that of the disadvantaged. Additionally, sex-fair educational practices should be started to help young women prepare for careers. Youth unemployment is a very serious problem that cannot be ignored by the countries of the OECD. The appendices consist of an article by L. C. Hunter (The Role of Labour Demand in Youth Employment and Unemployment) and an OECD committee report. (KC)

Download or read book Promoting Youth Employment During COVID 19 written by Werner Eichhorst and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and social disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis have particularly affected younger people, and therefore policy should respond with measures, programmes and initiatives targeted at this population group. Next to broader labour market and economic measures, which ultimately also benefit younger people, youth-targeted measures are needed given the specific impacts of the pandemic and resulting challenges. Against this background, this policy brief gives an overview on actual policy responses in the area of youth employment during the COVID-19 crisis in 20 selected countries. If such measures are implemented, they share the common goals of reducing the negative impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on younger workers and avoiding long-term scarring effects. However, the precise nature, extent and scope of such measures substantially differ across countries. Given the fragility and large uncertainty of economic recovery that is still present in early 2022, broader policy support continues to be needed, including specific policy measures targeting youth.

Download or read book Youth Employment and Joblessness in Advanced Countries written by David G. Blanchflower and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic status of young people has declined significantly over the past two decades, despite a variety of programs designed to aid new workers in the transition from the classroom to the job market. This ongoing problem has proved difficult to explain. Drawing on comparative data from Canada, Germany, France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, these papers go beyond examining only employment and wages and explore the effects of family background, education and training, social expectations, and crime on youth employment. This volume brings together key studies, providing detailed analyses of the difficult economic situation plaguing young workers. Why have demographic changes and additional schooling failed to resolve youth unemployment? How effective have those economic policies been which aimed to improve the labor skills and marketability of young people? And how have youths themselves responded to the deteriorating job market confronting them? These questions form the empirical and organizational bases upon which these studies are founded.

Download or read book The Long Shadow of Informality written by Franziska Ohnsorge and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-02-09 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large percentage of workers and firms operate in the informal economy, outside the line of sight of governments in emerging market and developing economies. This may hold back the recovery in these economies from the deep recessions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic--unless governments adopt a broad set of policies to address the challenges of widespread informality. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the extent of informality and its implications for a durable economic recovery and for long-term development. It finds that pervasive informality is associated with significantly weaker economic outcomes--including lower government resources to combat recessions, lower per capita incomes, greater poverty, less financial development, and weaker investment and productivity.
