Chapter 1 examines recent labour market developments, with a special focus on vulnerable youth who are neither working nor in education or training.

Chapter 2 considers skills use at work: are countries doing enough to assure that workers are able to make full use of their skills on the job? Chapter 3 looks at the short-term effects of structural reforms on employment and identifies successful strategies for reducing transition costs.
