Connecting People with Jobs

Giving people better opportunities to participate actively in the labour market improves well-being. It also helps countries to cope with rapid population ageing by mobilising more fully each country’s potential labour resources. However, weak labour market attachment of some groups in society reflects a range of barriers to working or moving up the jobs ladder. How can under-represented groups in the labour market be given better work incentives and decent work opportunities and how can their employability be improved? Each country report in the series Connecting People with Jobs provides an analysis and assessment of what are the best policies for fostering more inclusive labour markets that help all groups in society to move into productive and rewarding jobs.
