"Lost generation"

The youth unemployment rate has reached a new record and is still growing, becoming a serious problem for society and especially for young people, even the International Labour Organization (ILO) warns of the risk of calling this generation of teenagers as "lost generation."

In our Report 2011 we analyze this issue:
- In most countries in the Americas, labor markets and educational systems are unable to provide satisfactory opportunities to large shares of the young.
- Young people from 14 to 17 find it difficult to enter the labor market as apprentices or under other realistic options to meet their need for more education, on-the-job training and monetary income.
- Proposes a more dynamic labor market created by removing impediments to labor force participation and job searches.
