Asia and the Pacific, Regional Breakout session, 10th Economic and Social Council Youth Forum 8 Apr 2021 - The Asia-Pacific Regional Session
The Asia-Pacific Regional Session explored the role of youth in responding to COVID-19 and building back more inclusive societies in the post COVID-19 period, in particular how youth participation and leadership has contributed to promote youth SDG advocacy. The Asia-Pacific region is home to about 700 million youths, with countries across the region severely impacted by COVID-19, starting with the outbreak in Wuhan, China in late 2019. As young people often lack adequate representation and opportunities to politically, economically, or socially engage, the role of youth in responding to COVID19 and their achievements is quite remarkable and provides many valuable lessons on inclusivity and empowerment.
Youth in Mongolia are struggling to have decent jobs to build better lives. Employers are in need to have competent and skilled workers to grow. Therefore, “Bridging the Gap “ INTERNSHIP PROGRAM”, which supports SDG8 for Youth and Employers to meet the requirements of ever changing future of work.
I believe connecting the right-minded and like-minded individuals and through meaningful engagement and partnerships of the stakeholders together we can address the problems of mismatch in our labor market and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development, particularly Sustainable Economic Development SDG8 in Mongolia.
