Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Global monitoring indicator.

The purpose of the indicator is to provide an indication of the progress of countries in addressing youth employment issues. In this respect, it is assumed that having officially adopted what can be recognised as a structured strategy for youth employment would mean larger attention given by a country to youth labour market challenges, compared to countries with no strategy. 

Governments may have de facto national strategies for youth employment, but lack an officially adopted de jure document.  For monitoring purposes only what emerges from de jure documents is considered.  

The information and documents provided by national authorities will be analysed by the Internacional Labour Organisation (ILO) to classify countries according to this grid:

0 - The country has not developed any national strategy for youth employment or taken steps to develop or adopt one;

1 - The country is in the process of developing a national strategy for youth employment;

2 - The country has developed and adopted a national strategy for youth employment;

3 - The country has operationalized a national strategy for youth employment.
