7 - 9 June 2021

The pandemic is having a devastating impact on young people’s livelihoods and employment prospects.

​

There is a real risk of a lost generation. 

​

The Youth-Led Solutions Summit: The Future of Work will empower young people with knowledge about how the world of work is changing, the importance of agility, and the SDGs on decent work. The Summit will also build young people's understanding of employment pathways, skills, innovations, entrepreneurship opportunities, and impacting systems change, focussing on three economies – the green economy, the care economy, and the creative economy. 

 

Post-Summit, young leaders will be called to come together in teams to design solutions - or create new innovative opportunities - in these economies leveraging technology, newfound knowledge, networks and experiences.

The primary focus of the Youth-Led Solutions Summit: The Future of Work is SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
