ILO and ICSB Discuss Young People in the World of Work and the Responses to the Impact of Covid-19

ILO’s recently published Global Employment Trends for Youth 2020: Technology and the future of Jobs report highlighted the increased vulnerabilities of young workers due to automation. Today, as the world struggles to cope with the novel coronavirus pandemic, young people are likely to disproportionately suffer from its social and economic impacts. Webinar participants will discuss together about what works to support young people in labour markets hit by crises as well as innovative and potential approaches to safeguard young workers and young entrepreneurs' jobs and livelihoods. 

Join us on 8 April at 10 am EST/ 16 pm CEST
