Full text: ASEAN youth officials exchanged experiences and lessons learned on addressing youth
unemployment in the wake of the economic and financial crisis of 1997-98. A video conference on youth
development with the theme "ASEAN Youth Unemployment: Post Economic Crisis" was convened on 20 March
2003 under the ASEAN-World Bank joint programme on mainstreaming social development.
Discussions were aided by presentations from resource persons from the ILO and the World Bank. Among the
concerns raised by the ASEAN countries during the discussion were the importance of having strong linkages
among the national education system and the labour market, including having labour market information
available for educational planning and to minimise the mis-match between the supply and demand of labour.
Also discussed were the need to facilitate the transition between school and work; strengthening the role of the
private sector in integrating young people into the labour market; and the possibility of establishing a network for
sharing youth unemployment in Member Countries.
Member Countries agreed to undertake further collaboration on the following: (a) Successful models for
integrating youth development into the national development agenda; coordinating structures that work well in
promoting multi sector involvement as well as between different levels of government (especially for countries
going through decentralisation); (b) The role of the private sector in youth employment programmes; the policy
framework and type of incentives which are effective; (c) Strategies to ensure the relevance of education and
training to the skills required by the job market and what basic competencies are imparted; and (d) State-of-the-
art practices/strategies in making general education relevant to industry, i.e. the linkage between general and
vocational education. More information on ASEAN-World Bank programme on this matter is available on the
Internet at http://www1.worldbank.org/gdln/asean.htm.
