Scholarship Description
The ILO is launching the Youth Employment Video Contest: youth labour migration "Reaping the benefits, minimizing the risks." Are you working to promote decent work for young migrants? Then submit a video! Don’t have a camera? Use your phone! The video is your opportunity to show how YOU make a difference in the lives of young migrants.
Young people are on the move in search of work more than ever before. Today, about 30 per cent of the world’s international migrants are young women and men between the ages of 15-24. Yet, very little is known about the opportunities and struggles facing young migrants in a globalized world. Together, let’s put the spotlight on the plight of young women and men on the move!
