2.3 DIRECT ACTIONS IN COMMUNITIES

2.3.7. Labour market analysis to determine types of education/training provided 

Recommendation: 5) Promote analysis and understanding of economic growth dynamics and functioning of the labour market to inform technical assistance on youth employment. Acquire knowledge of the operations of national and local complex organisations, e.g. public administration in general, ministries and department in charge of labour and employment and Public Employment Services. Note that demand for development interventions related to TVET includes labour market assessment, providing support for establishing linkages between training and the labour market, and policy development.

Reference: HKavanagh, Frank; Ognjanov, Galjina; Petrera, Francesco, 2010, Youth Employment Partnership in Serbia (YEPS), Final evaluation, Evaluation Summary, ILO, Geneva.

Evidence sample: ILO’s evaluation identified a number of challenges to the provision of quality technical assistance to youth employment policy and programme development. A full understanding of the economic growth dynamics and functioning of the specific labour market is required. It needs to be underpinned by comprehensive knowledge on the operations of complex organisations (public administration in general, ministries and department in charge of labour and employment and Public Employment Services).
