Technical Support on Employment Creation for Young People and Vulnerable Groups

The project aims at strengthening employment policies and programmes to leverage the process of structural change towards a sustainable, low carbon, climate-resilient economy to create decent jobs on a significant scale, with particular focus on young people and vulnerable groups. The ILO will assist the tripartite constituents in the application of the 2015 ILO Policy Guidelines for a “Just Transition towards Environmentally Sustainable Economies and Societies for All” through evidence-based policy support, capacity building and advocacy interventions. The support is anchored on the newly enacted Philippine Green Jobs Act as well as international commitments such as the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Philippines’ Nationally Determined Contribution to addressing climate change. A cooperation partnership will be established among tripartite constituents and key stakeholders to lead key interventions, including green jobs measurement, policy simulations, modelling, and advocacy work. The results of measurements and analyses will inform policies and frameworks, particularly the Green Jobs Human Resource Development Plan, that support the promotion of a green economy and the formulation of response measures that would ensure a just transition, including anticipating impacts on employment and skills needs and extending social protection.
