Department of Labour APEC
We helped the Department of Labour inform young people and encourage them to participate in the project "Promoting good practice and policies for young people's work in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies".
The Department of Labour acknowledged young people as important stakeholders and felt that it was important that young people's views inform the research.
The project sought to identify good practice and policies for young people's work in APEC economies.
The project had two overarching objectives:
- To describe the current situation of young workers in APEC economies, including how young people are being affected by the global economic crisis.
- To identify appropriate responses to the current and future labour market challenges affecting young people, with particular reference to employment and working conditions.
The final report of young people's views was provided to the Department of Labour on 27 November 2009 and was included in the wider APEC report that was prepared with other countries.
