Youth employment programmes: what works? Lessons from evaluation show that youth employment programmes work best when they: • Are designed to respond to labour market requirements improves the employment opportunities of participants. Labour market information and control groups are essential for the design, monitoring and evaluation of initiatives. • Target and tailor individual needs and labour market disadvantages have produced better programme results. Generic targeting based on age may fail to reach disadvantaged youth. • Are offered as a comprehensive packages of services that combine various components relating to both labour demand and supply can be more effective than single measures. • Link to work experience (e.g. through in-company training, work placement) increase employment opportunities. • Involve the social partners in the design and implementation enhances the relevance and quality of programmes.
