Youth Transition to Work in Ukraine

European Training Foundation
This report is a part of the European Training Foundation's (ETF) project on mapping youth transitions in Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. It provides analyses on the youth situation in Ukraine and, in particular, on the youth policy measures currently being implemented in the country. While youth policy, in general, is addressing a range of aspects of young peoples' lives, such as participation in society, health and cultural development, this report will focus only on those related to youth education and skills development, and employment. The purpose of the analysis is to support the national stakeholders in understanding the main challenges faced by young people during their transition to work and in developing innovative approaches to effectively address them by implementing new policies, measures and services. The analysis is based on the available statistical data and scientific publications and studies, as well as the administrative records of the Ministry of Education and Science (MoES), the Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS) and other state and non-state actors. The report is structured in four chapters. The first chapter presents an overview of the youth labour market, providing a description of the demographic and economic context and a brief analysis of the main labour market trends and challenges. The second chapter describes the youth policy framework and the main stakeholders involved. The third chapter examines policy measures implemented to support young people's transition to work, while the fourth chapter analyses the main institutional and operational constraints that have a negative impact on the quality and efficiency of youth policy measures and proposes actions that could help in improving their implementation.
