It’s back-to-school time in many parts of the world, and to mark the beginning of a new school year we are focusing on the impact of education policy on the labor market.
One of the main goals of education is to prepare young people for entry into work and successful employment over their lifetime. Current high levels of youth unemployment shows the importance of policies that help young people progress easily from education to employment, but evaluating the pros and cons of different policy options is a constant challenge for policymakers.
This is where IZA World of Labor can help. Our authors have written comprehensive and clear articles bringing together international evidence on the effectiveness and the pros and cons of a range of policies that could benefit young people, and ease the education-to-employment transition.
