In 2012, HRD Pillar co-facilitators were also asked
to contribute to the overall effort to promote inclusive
green growth. A Working Group on Greening TVET
(technical and vocational training and education)
and Skills Development comprised of 7 IOs
produced a set of policy recommendations on the
skills required for transition to a greener economy.
The recommendations were based on research and
findings of the IOs' research and policy advice. This
was completed in early 2013 and presented to the
DWG meeting in February 2013.
In-Depth Assessment
Delivering and implementing
a sustainable
database on skills indicators is the first step
towards improving evidence-based decision-
making on HRD for developing countries. Under
MYAP Commitment 30 (create internationally
comparable skills indicators), a conceptual
framework for internationally comparable data on
skills indicators for employment and productivity
was developed by the OECD and World Bank.
The conceptual framework identifies which
indicators are most useful for policy design and
implementation. This informs where investments in
improving labor market information systems would
have the highest potential benefits. The conceptual
framework was presented to the OECD-ILO
Workshop on Skills Indicators and Policies in LICS
held at the ILO in Turin in March 2012.
IOs report on indicators, including options for
the hosting and maintenance of the database
was presented at the HRD workshop in Moscow
in May 2013. The report was prepared by
the OECD and the World Bank in consultation
with other relevant IOs and based on extensive
exploration of available data. The report includes
a preliminary set of cost proposals to establish the
database and will be implemented at the end of
2014, as envisaged by the 2010 MYAP.
Alignment with Core G20 and DWG Mandate
Strengthening HRD in developing countries is
fundamental to driving strong, sustainable and
inclusive economic growth and jobs creation. Jobs
are necessary to drive development and achieve
the G20's core mandate of economic growth, as
well as improve living standards, productivity and
social cohesion in LICs. The approach taken by
the DWG under the MYAP has been to recognize
that skills challenges differ by country to be able to
build on the G20 Training Strategy to strengthen
employable skills in LICs.
COMMITMENT 30: Create
internationally comparable skills
indicators
Implementation
1 2 3 4 6
The implementation of the 2010 MYAP commitments
on HRD is on track. Significant achievements include:
•
Three knowledge-sharing workshops (supported
by the DWG members of Germany, Italy, and
Korea) have been organized by IOs since 2011,
with a focus on public-private partnerships and
developed indicators on employment skills
in LICs. The workshops provided a forum for
representatives from several LICs and MICs to
share experience in skills assessments, identify
areas for further capacity building, and propose
indicators. These workshops complement the
KSP and pilot programs.
A report on the conceptual framework (based
on consultations facilitated by the Inter-Agency
Group on TVET) was presented at the HRD
workshop in May 2013. The final report outlining
options for the hosting and maintenance of the
database is due in December 2014.
