It provides skills important in any person’s life regardless of whether it results in starting a business or not and therefore contributes to address social inequities as well.

• Work4Youth (W4Y) project.
  In connection with its Work4Youth (W4Y) project, the ILO invites eligible bidders to send sealed bids for undertaking a School-to-work Transition Survey (SWTS) to collect and analyse information on the labour market characteristics and various challenges that influence young men and women while they are making the transition to working life. Identifying the nature and extent of the youth employment challenge at the country level is a prerequisite to formulating evidence-based integrated policy and programmatic interventions. With detailed information on where blockages exist that prevent sufficient job creation to absorb the cohorts of young labour market entrants, Governments will be better prepared to design effective policy responses. Facilitating an improved school-to-work transition (or work to school transition for youth previously engaged in child labour) is a precondition to helping young people overcome the difficulties in finding and maintaining decent jobs.
