OECD Report, May 2012 - Giving youth a better start in the world of work remains at the top of the
political agenda in most G20 countries. Unfortunately, the youth labour market took
a substantial hit during the recent global financial and economic crisis. Youth
unemployment increased sharply and, in many countries, the subsequent economic
recovery has been too weak so far to have reversed this increase. In addition, prior
to the crisis, many youth faced substantial difficulties in getting a firm foothold into
the labour market.

ILO, 2012 - The World of Work Report 2012 provides a comprehensive analysis of recent labour market and social trends, assesses risks of social unrest and presents employment projections for the next five years. The report emphasizes that while employment has begun to recover slowly, job quality is deteriorating and there is a growing sense of unfairness. Moreover, given the pressure on governments to rein in expenditure, policy efforts have focused on structural reforms to boost employment creation. However, if policy instruments are not carefully designed, they could exacerbate the employment situation and aggravate further equity concerns, with potentially long-lasting adverse consequences for both the economy and society.

International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), 2012 - Decades of empirical evidence and practical experience support the robust associations between women’s educational attainment and positive development outcomes. It is now conventional wisdom in development discourse that where education levels are higher among women, fertility rates are lower, family size is smaller, and women’s health and economic status are stronger. There is even evidence to suggest that in settings where education is more gender equitable, economic growth is more robust. What is less understood is how the education of girls and young women translates into positive development outcomes. We argue that it is the healthier, safer transition of adolescent girls to adulthood and their empowerment during this process that are, in fact, the linchpins between education and improved outcomes at the individual, community and societal levels.
