Helping a “lockdown generation” transition to labour markets post COVID-19
As GAN Global (@GAN4Skills) "What can we do to collectively help a #LockdownGeneration transition to labour markets post COVID-19?" is the main issue we wanted to address with high-level stakeholders from public and private spheres and youth representatives from across the globe (Online discussion - 17 July 2020).
A deep economic and social crisis is linked to the COVID-19 pandemic; all of the speakers in the discussion agreed that innovative approaches are required to ensure youth have access to work-based learning opportunities, as a viable pathway towards a decent job.
For several groups, especially the marginalised and youth, across all countries and several sectors, 2020 is a year that marks lost economic, educational and labour opportunities.
This is the second part in a series on articulating new solutions and innovations to drive youth employment Post COVID 19.
