THEME: Organising and Educating Young Workers TITLE: Global Employment Trends for Youth 2022 PUBLISHED BY: International Labour Organisation (ILO) WHO IS THIS FOR: The 2022 edition discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on young people and their labour market prospects during the recovery and beyond. Youth have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and youth labour markets are now being buffeted by the lingering impacts of the pandemic, geopolitical risks and macroeconomic risks such as the impact of supply chain disruptions and rising inflation, particularly that of food and energy. There is also the potential permanent damage wreaked by these crises on the fabric of labour markets. As countries seek to address these multiple challenges, they must also not lose sight of longer-term priorities. In particular, targeted investment in the green, blue (ocean), digital, creative and care economies hold great potential to provide decent jobs for young people while setting economies on path towards greater sustainability, inclusiveness and resilience. Study circles, labour academics and activists and those working with youth and employment will find this useful. Download here Global Employment Trends for Youth 2022

THEME: Organising and Educating Young Workers TITLE: ITF Youth Pack: Helping Unions to Help Organise Young Workers PUBLISHED BY: International Transport Workers’ Federation, UK LANGUAGE: English WHO IS THIS FOR? This pack is for trade union leaders, union educators, youth network participants and union activists who are working to build youth participation and shop stewards. To build strong unions now and for the future it is crucial that the labour movement reaches out to groups of workers that have traditionally fallen through the organising net. Young workers are one of these groups. To help unions do just that, the ITF has produced a youth pack with information on organising young workers. The booklet can be used on its own as resource material or to stimulate debate through group work by discussing the questions that appear throughout the pack.
