What is the solution to youth unemployment?
Position‹3 of 4›

Skills matching is the solution to youth unemployment

On this view the skills largely exist but are not connected to where they are needed, so proponents argue that better matching between young workers and existing vacancies, rather than more training, is what would cut youth unemployment.

Supporting arguments · 2

  1. Unfilled vacancies beside unemployed young people show a matching failure
  2. Matching acts on the current labour market while training acts on a future one
