Established by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 2014, the day calls for ensuring employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship for young people, while underscoring the critical actions they play in peacebuilding and conflict resolution.

Amid a multitude of challenges affecting youth, equipping them with the necessary skills is crucial for fostering a culture of peace and building a fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable future for all.

On World Youth Skills Day, the United Nations highlights the need to recognize young people as catalysts for change and commit to providing them with the skills and opportunities to build a prosperous and sustainable world.
