NDLI: Editorial: Time is running out to help workers move up the jobs ladder

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Organization	OECD
Abstract	The jobs recovery is becoming more widespread and gaining momentum putting unemployment on a declining path in most countries, including those hardest hit by the crisis. However, the recovery is still far from complete and time is running out to prevent millions of workers from being left trapped at the bottom of the economic ladder. Many of the youth who finished their schooling during the crisis years and have struggled to gain a secure toe-hold in the labour market may be approaching the make or break point so far as being able to ascend the career ladder. Indeed, one of the striking findings in this edition of the OECD Employment Outlook is that long-term career prospects are largely determined in the first ten years of working life. Some of the experienced workers who have lost their jobs during the crisis are also having a difficult time putting their careers back on track. For example, a number of those who lost jobs in the manufacturing or construction sectors will need to make a career switch to growing service industries and often to adapt their skills if they are to avoid becoming trapped on the margins of the labour market.
