Improving Opportunities for Young People in Bosnia and Herzegovina
14-Feb-2013
WASHINGTON - With an estimated population of 950,000 between the age of 15 and 29, young people represent about a quarter of the total population in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH). With a youth unemployment rate above 57%, BH maintains one of the highest rates of unemployment for young people in all of Europe, meaning that this group in society continues to face incredible economic and social barriers as they try to integrate into the country’s job markets. Current economic trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina are having a particularly negative impact on the country’s youth. Many young people who complete vocational or tertiary education in BH are not able to find a job in a relevant profession, while many others turn to low quality jobs in the informal – or shadow – economy. Less than half of all employed people below the age of 29 manage to find work in a field in which they were educated – leading to a high rate of youth migration out of the country.

Skills Mismatches Hurt Job Creation Prospects
04-Feb-2013
GENEVA - (ILO News) - Several developed economies are seeing increasing numbers of job vacancies but their unemployment rates are not going down. In some cases, they are even rising. What is happening is that many of the workers who lost their jobs to the crisis do not have the skills that the labour market now demands. “These skills mismatches mean that unemployed people need much longer to find a new job, which in turn drives up long-term unemployment,” says Labour Economist Theo Sparreboom, one of the authors of the ILO’s recently published Global Employment Trends 2013. This particularly affects young people, who get most of their training and education before they start working or early in their careers.
