Voices of youth and employers on youth employability in Thailand

This working paper is a joint effort of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Thailand and the Sustainability & Entrepreneurship Center (SEC) of Sasin School of Management.

The paper offers policy recommendations to improve the availability, quality and relevance of interventions to strengthen lifelong learning systems and youth employability in Thailand. Its aim is to support the country’s ongoing national debates and policy making process, including the development of Thailand’s 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP) 2023–2027.

To contribute to these national debates, UNICEF Thailand and SEC conducted a multisectoral consultative process from December 2020 to April 2021, collecting voices of youth, policy makers, and employers alike.
