| Summary: | Youth are a key asset for society. Equipping youth with the skills needed today and giving them opportunities to become well-integrated into the labour market contributes not only to their own well-being but also to the producive potential of the economy and to social cohesion more generally. This is fully recognised by the G20 Leaders who, at their summit in Pittburgh in 2009, stressed the need to put quality jobs at the heart of the recovery and pledged to support robust training efforts in their growth strategies. In 2010, the G 20 Employment and Labour Ministers in Washington also stressed the need to accelerate job creation while providing better support and access to social protection for disadvantaged youth
