The OECD Skills Outlook 2015: Youth, Skills and Employability makes clear that where education and the labour market
co-exist as two separate worlds, it is very difficult for young people to manage the transition from one to the other. Young
people are best integrated into the world of work when education systems are flexible and responsive to the needs of
the labour market, when employers are engaged in both designing and providing education programmes, when young
people have access to high-quality career guidance and further education that can help them to match their skills to
prospective jobs, and when institutionalised obstacles to enter the labour market, even for those with the right skills, are
removed.

One of the central messages of this volume is that a concerted effort – by education providers, the labour market, tax
and social institutions, employer and employee organisations, and parents and young people themselves – is needed to
create these conditions. Youth unemployment and underemployment have adverse and long-lasting consequences for
both the individuals and the countries involved. It is in everyone’s interest, then, to work together so that young people
have a smoother and faster route from the classroom to the workplace.
