  • Phase II – Pathways to Employability
    Pathways to Employability Lessons and Case Studies for Closing the Youth Skills Gap Results for Development Institute October 2013 Results for Development Institute (R4D) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to unlock solutions to tough development challenges that prevent people in low- and middle-income countries from realizing their full potential. Using multiple approaches in multiple sectors, including Global Education, Global Health, Governance and Market Dynamics, R4D supports the discovery and implementation of new ideas for reducing poverty and improving lives around the world. This paper was prepared for the Innovative Secondary Education for Skills Enhancement (ISESE) project, led by R4D with support from the Rockefeller Foundation. For more information on the ISESE project, please contact Shubha Jayaram: [email protected]. Copyright © 2013 Results for Development Institute 1100 15th Street, N.W., Suite #400, Washington, DC 20005 Foreword By 2020, the world will have a surplus of 90 million low-skilled workers, but a shortage of 45 medium- skilled workers.1 However, access to secondary education has increased steadily over the past decade, with gross enrolment ratios in the developing world rising from an average of 52% in 1999 to 62% in 2010,2 indicating that the skills imbalance may be due not to a lack of access to education but rather to a lack of adequate quality and relevance. With this in mind, we at Results for Development Institute (R4D) have in 2012-13 worked to answer two critical questions that are central to explaining these conflicting trends: (i) what skills do youth need in order to gain employment; and (ii) how can education and training models effectively deliver these skills at the secondary level, from where most youth now enter the workforce? Supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, the core of the Innovative Secondary Education for Skills Enhancement (ISESE) project was a series of 12 background studies, now publically available at our website.

Inspired by Christian faith and gospel values, Caritas works in most of the world’s countries with the poor and oppressed, vulnerable and excluded, regardless of race or religion. It promotes just and fraternal societies where the dignity of every human being is enhanced. Depending on the size of the Catholic community and the will of their bishops’ conference, Caritas national members range from small entities to some of the world’s largest social, humanitarian and development organisations. Combined, they have over a million staff and volunteers. Caritas Internationalis has a General Secretariat in Rome, which coordinates the confederation’s response to major humanitarian emergencies, supports members and advocates on their behalf for a better world, based on justice, compassion and fraternity. Caritas Internationalis also has delegations in New York and Geneva representing the confederation at the United Nations.

  • Realising the Demographic Dividend This Book Elaborates on Policies To
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-09172-6 - Realising the Demographic Dividend: Policies to Achieve Inclusive Growth in India Santosh Mehrotra Frontmatter More information Realising the Demographic Dividend This book elaborates on policies to achieve inclusive growth in India. It deals with various development issues like the failure to increase employment despite unprecedented industrial and services growth; failure to generate enough skilled manpower to meet the requirements of fast growing sectors; and failure to ensure human capabilities so that the poor can participate in the benefits of economic growth. The book’s theoretical framework is based on the capability approach discussed in the first chapter. The rest is empirical, and is focused on specific problems with specific policy implications. Human capital levels of the youthful workforce in India remain worrying and the largely informal workforce is not covered by social insurance. In addition, universal elementary education, despite the Right to Education Act 2009, is yet to be achieved in the country. Health outcomes over the years have improved only slowly. Sanitation still remains a very serious problem for a major part of the country. The author discusses these issues in individual chapters. Specific policy implications are also provided, beyond what is currently being practised. Finally the book deals with the governance issues that need to be addressed if growth has to be inclusive. Santosh Mehrotra is Professor of Economics at the Centre for Informal Sector and Labour Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University. He was earlier Director General, National Institute for Labour Economics Research, the only research institute of the Planning Commission of India.

The fallacy is that 12 mn join the Indian labour force every year, looking for work. The first of the two looming crisis is that millions need and wish to agriculture behind in search of non-agricultural work, but at least since 2011-12 they are not finding enough work to pull them away from agriculture. The second looming crisis is that youth are joining the age group of 14+ in growing numbers, each year with higher and higher levels of education, and are not finding non- agricultural work – despite their aspiration being only for such work. The final concern, which is simmering rather than reached the ‘ready-to-boil-over’ stage, is the sub-group of the second looming crisis of youth who are getting better educated, is for girls who have reached gender parity in secondary education, and hence aspire for non- agricultural work. All three categories of workers have plenty among them who are disheartened workers, for whom there are too few non-agricultural opportunities.
