Today's generation of girls are preparing to enter a world of work that is being transformed by innovation and automation. Educated and skilled workers are in great demand, but roughly a quarter of young people – most of them female – are currently neither employed nor in education nor training.
Of the 1 billion young people –
including 600 million adolescent girls – that will enter the workforce in the
next decade, more than 90 per cent of those living in developing countries will
work in the informal sector - jobs that are not regulated or protected – where
low or no pay, abuse and exploitation are common. The most disadvantaged girls
— including those in rural areas and those with disabilities — have even less
access to decent work.
“Just like boys, girls can become
doctors, lawyers, we can do anything if we have the support. We just want to
have the same opportunities.”
