Growth with decent work for all: national youth employment programme and pilot implementation in Antalya, Turkey

Since September 2009, the MDG Achievement Fund (MDG-F) Joint Programme: “Growth with Decent Work For All: A Na- tional Youth Employment Programme and Pilot Implementation in Antalya” carried out a series of activities nationwide and in Antalya to generate opportunities for decent work for the youth. The salient objectives of the Joint Programme were: to create a “National Youth Employment Action Plan”; to reduce unemploy- ment among young population, especially vulnerable members of migrant families; and increase the partici- pation of young women in the labour force in Antalya. This report talks about how within the three years of its implementation, the Joint Programme succeeded in creating a significant impact in Turkey and Antalya.
