Description
Across the OECD, one in eight young people (aged between 15 and 29) are not in employment, education or training (NEET). Rates are even higher in Latin America, reaching almost one in five. Young people also face a fractured geography of opportunity – in Colombia, for example, the NEET rate varies over two-fold across regions.
This session will explore how innovative, place-based approaches can help bridge the gap between education and employment, such as smoothing school-to-work transitions and improving access quality vocational training that provides a path to good jobs.
