Business For Youth: Our Global Campaign



We recognize the need to support and empower youth as we exit the Covid-19 crisis.

Integrating young people into the labor market is an essential pillar to the dynamism of labor markets and critical for the cohesion and sustainability of our economies and societies at large. As we are exiting the Covid-19 crisis, challenges still remain, and we must ensure that integrating youth remains high on our agenda.

We designed this dedicated webpage as a tool to share the different initiatives that our global business network has provided to improve youth opportunities to enter the job market.

We have also compiled the contributions and perspectives from our leading national business organizations. This initiative should help our members and stakeholders share their programs and ideas as we look to bridge the gap for young people entering the labor market.

The OECD plays an important role in identifying and promoting policies that can help equip young people with relevant skills and facilitate their inclusion into the labor market – we look forward to working in partnership with OECD on this important endeavor.

Explore contributions from our National Member Organizations from OECD Member States, non-OECD countries, and selected companies affiliated to our National Member Organizations below and browse our main policy guidance in the attached paper.

Read our blog post for OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions & Cities “Stand by Youth” initiative where we make the case why there should be no lost “Covid generation.”

We regularly update our page with initiatives and please get in contact to get involved in our global campaign.
