Industry Skills for Inclusive Growth (InSIGHT) Phase 2

The project aims to explore and show that a skills-driven approach is a suitable ‘pathway’ to support and maintain inclusive growth in Asia. This growth should inclusively create value and opportunities for productive employment and livelihoods, without compromising environmental sustainability and ultimately improving the lives for all, especially young women and men, and vulnerable people in the region. The project will look into the most appropriate configuration to strengthen skills development mechanisms, taking into account best practices and sharing the lessons from Japan, and other ASEAN member countries, who have advocated a similar track. It will show strategies and pro-active response measures to best address the transitions in the labor market, including adapting to future skills requirements. Finally, it will also look deeply and articulate the constructive linkages that skills development have with other established systems like Industrial Relations, Social Protection, Human Resource and capacity development, among others.
