63 Figure. An integrated response to child labour and youth employment problems

64

65 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Expanded access to early childhood education (ECE) opportunities. A lack of early childhood education opportunities affects children s preparedness for formal schooling. Reducing inequality in school access Important income-based and regional inequalities in access remain at the junior and senior secondary education Increased school quality and relevance. School quality issues can affect the willingness of households to invest in their children s schooling as an alternative to child labour

66 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Expanding second chance learning opportunities to compensatefor educational deprivation earlier in childhood. Second chance learning opportunities help compensate for the negative educational consequences of child labour

67 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Expanded access to formal social protection. Experience from elsewhere particularly Latin America suggests that cash transfers schemes conditional on school attendance and removal from child labour represent a particularly promising route for protecting vulnerable households and for promoting schooling as an alternative to child labour.

68 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Increasing awareness of the benefits of schooling, and the costs and risks associated with child labour. Mobilizing social actors in efforts against child labour Household decisions regarding schooling and child labour can be conditioned by inaccurate information, by a lack of information or by detrimental social norms. Social mobilisation is critical to engaging a broad range of social actors in efforts against child labour. Building political will for action against child labour A political commitment at all levels is needed to ensure that child labour reduction occupies a prominent place in the national development agenda and is accorded adequate budgetary resources.

69 1.

70 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Addressing job-relevant skills constraints Deficiencies in terms of trained human capital, particularly for the technical professions, constitute a major constraint to successful transitions to decent work for young people.

71 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Providing job search support to address the lack of job search skills and resources A difficult transition to the labour market in Indonesia is partly the result of the lack of both labour market information and job search skills.

72 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Promoting youth entrepreneurship and self employment to address labour demand and firm start-up constraints Self-employment programmes hold the potential to improve employment outcomes for the large proportion of Indonesian young people currently unemployed, underemployed or in low productivity agricultural work.

73 Policy goal/targets Rationale/relevance Ensuring equal opportunities for female youth in the labour market Perceptions of appropriate gender roles, and of the division of responsibilities between men and women remain deeply rooted in many segments of society and continue to influence women s position and opportunities in the work force.
