Youth Transition to Work in Moldova
Lungu, Vladimir; Bardak, Ummuhan
European Training Foundation
This report specifically looks at young people and their school-to-work transition patterns in Moldova. The European Training Foundation (ETF) initiated a mapping of the youth employment situation and policies in the six Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries in 2017. The aim is to support the countries' institutions and stakeholders in developing effective policies and structures to facilitate the transition to work for young people and foster youth employability. This report is part of the ETF's above-mentioned regional initiative to map the youth school-to-work transition and review the youth policy framework and measures in Moldova. After giving a picture of youth situation in the country, the report pays particular attention to describing the key policies and programmes that address the challenges of youth employability and the bottlenecks associated with the implementation of these measures in Moldova. The analysis was undertaken from March 2017 to February 2018, and included analysis of secondary statistical data, reviews of existing studies and policy documents, and interviews with key informants. The report includes four chapters and an annex providing a list of existing measures supporting youth transitions in Moldova. The first chapter gives an overview of the youth situation in terms of demography and educational profile, youth participation in the labour market, as well as the main characteristics of youth transition from school to work. The second chapter covers the youth policy framework in Moldova, reviewing laws and regulations as well as institutions (including governmental and non-governmental organisations) responsible for youth policies and services. The third chapter makes an inventory of existing measures supporting youth transition from school to work in Moldova under three categories, with an assessment of their implementation on the ground. The final (fourth) chapter ends with main conclusions and recommendations regarding the youth transition measures in Moldova.
