Training and employment opportunities to address poverty among rural youth in the Philippines, Thailand and VietNam. Synthesis report by FAO, ILO, UNESCO.

 

 

 

This report is a synthesis of three case studies conducted in the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam and aims to enhance understanding on training and employment opportunities, challenges regarding employment and the training of rural youth. The findings from the three country studies suggest the need for enhanced policy coordination to address limited human and financial resources, particularly in terms of reaching the local and community levels. This is also to allow broad-based participation in the efforts to improve employment and training prospects of the rural youth.
