Renewing commitment to youth employment by endorsing a follow-up plan of action on youth employment for the period 2020–30

The resolution “The youth employment crisis: A call for action”, adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 101st Session (2012), was given effect by the Office through a seven-year follow-up plan that ended on 31 December 2019. This document proposes the main elements of a follow-up plan of action on youth employment for the period 2020–30. It takes into consideration the current and future needs of constituents in addressing the challenge of youth employment and responds to an evolving world of work in the context of the ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work. The Governing Body is invited to provide guidance on the proposed elements of the follow-up plan of action on youth employment for 2020–30 (see the draft decision in paragraph 32)
