Young people entering the work force now and in the years ahead face a world of constant change, where success is measured by their ability to learn quickly, to adapt to market shifts, to think independently, and to apply their knowledge across geographic and cultural boundaries.
What Works in Youth Employment: The Impact of New Information Technologies asks practitioners—as well as policy makers, educators, and others who can influence the youth development field—to explore the challenges of “preparing young people to fill jobs that have not yet been imagined with tools that have not yet been created.”
Topics explored include:
The historical context and scope of youth employment
General trends shaping job markets
Job market shifts resulting from technological advances
The impact of such shifts on youth employment opportunities
New training requirements for youth
The evolving implications of the digital divide and potential solutions
The potential roles of the public, private, and civil society sectors in ensuring that advances in new technology enhance the job prospects of young people around the world.
