Employment quotas represent one of the most frequently used policy measures to promote work opportunities for persons with disabilities. Slightly over 100 countries around the world currently provide for employment quotas in their national legislation. While some countries have had employment quotas for many decades, others have introduced them recently, revised them or are planning to introduce them. There is no standard approach. Quotas vary from country to country in terms of the level of the percentage obligation, the size of company covered, whether they apply to public and private sector employers, how compliance is monitored and what measures apply in the case of non-compliance.

The purpose of this brochure is to support employers in the process of recruiting persons with disabilities. It briefs readers on Serbia’s legal framework, and four illustrative cases present the voices of persons with disabilities and their employers alike.
The guide is intended primarily for small and medium-size enterprises - numerous and often the least informed about their legal obligations - to use as a resource to help understand good practice in the implementation of these obligations. Large enterprises might find it useful as well, and the guide also is intended to support and inspire persons with disabilities during the job-seeking process.

The International Labour Organization’s (ILO) landmark programmes are aimed at strengthening and improving the environment for industry skills development, addressing the mismatch between the supply and demand for skills training, and, drive the increased employability of millions of young women and men.

Expanding on the ILO’s exploration of the likely job impacts by 2030 of keeping the rise in global temperature below the 2°C ceiling set by the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, this is the first global study to analyse the implications of the transition to low-carbon and resource-efficient economies for skills, gender and occupations (Based on 32 country studies).
The main objectives of this global qualitative and quantitative analysis are to identify:
• the scale of the need for reskilling and upskilling to realize the employment potential of the transition to environmental sustainability (the “green transition”);
• changes in occupations, skills gaps and skills shortages in meeting the skills demand of the green transition;
• progress made since 2011 in the countries surveyed then in coordinating skills and environmental policy matters across ministries and between public and private sectors;
• the specific needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in adjusting to change, and effective skills policy measures to increase productivity and support a just transition.

This policy brief draws the attention of policy-makers, social partners, training providers and civil society organizations in both developed and developing countries to the essential role of skills development policies in advancing the sustainable transition to a greener future. Building on the brief Greening the global economy: The skills challenge, published by the ILO in 2011, it draws on the new findings published in the report Skills for a greener future (ILO, 2019c) and reviews the progress achieved since 2011. The report, based on qualitative analysis and empirical research across 32 countries and modelling in two global scenarios (energy transition and circular economy), draws on policy-applied research and numerous case studies of country experiences and good practice conducted in collaboration with the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) to provide new insights into likely occupational skill effects in declining and growing industries by 2030 and analyse countries’ progress in policy implementation.

This Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) identifies a four-part diagnosis of the constraints to the Philippines achieving its Ambisyon Natin 2040 goals. First, the country can enact policies that maintain its high rates of growth but also make that growth more inclusive and generate good jobs. Second, investments in human capital can ensure that Filipinos can lead healthy lives and have the skills for those jobs. Third, the Philippines can build its resilience to natural disasters and the looming climate crisis, while continuing to build peace in Mindanao. The common thread across all these challenges is the need for follow-through and implementation, which points to governance as the core cross-cutting challenge. The SCD addresses these thematic areas—inclusive growth and jobs, human capital, resilience, and governance—in turn.

Mismatch between jobs and skills is considered one of the biggest concerns of our times. The concept of skills mismatch, however, is broad and includes many forms of mismatch, such as over- or underqualification, skill gaps, skill shortages, field of study mismatch and skill obsolescence. These various forms are very different in their causes and consequences, and require different policy approaches.
Policy debates on skill mismatch rarely differentiate between the forms of mismatch and often rely on inadequate data, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of this book is to unpack the issue of skill mismatch and present new data on the phenomenon in low- and middle-income countries.
The book reviews literature and produces new analysis using data on educational mismatch from 60 low- and middle-income countries, assessing the extent to which mismatch is correlated with factors such as productivity, labour force participation, unemployment and informality.

The innovation economy has become a driving force in transforming entire industries, which has been happening at an accelerated pace. Cities are making massive investments in innovation and research and development (R&D) to support and attract technology-driven industries that are leading the digital revolution and disrupting established markets. To succeed in this transformation, a strong and skilled labor force is the most crucial factor. Human capital, meaning the skills, knowledge, and experience of the labor force, is critical for future economic development and innovation.Traditionally, Chongqing has been a city of production, focusing on the application of technology rather than its development and innovation. However, while this has served the city well in the past, Chongqing’s low innovative capacity puts it at risk of missing out on future economic opportunities. This problem is exacerbated by a shortage of highly skilled labor and by a mismatch between available jobs and the existing workforce.

Jobs are an important part of Cambodia’s story of development success. There are eight million jobs in Cambodia, and eighty percent of Cambodian adults above the age of fifteen are working in contrast to 62.5 percent of adults in East Asia Pacific region. Cambodia will need to enact substantive reforms to secure more, better, and more inclusive jobs in the long term. Fundamentally, Cambodia needs to upgrade and integrate the two sides of its economy namely the exports sector, which includes foreign- owned (FDI) firms, and the domestic sector made up of household enterprises (HHEs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Meanwhile, Cambodian workers need to increase their skills and ability to pursue the job opportunities that will materialize as these sectors increase their competitiveness.
