A/HRC/40/31 employment challenge, and to devise and implement coherent and coordinated measures to address this challenge. The Guide also strives to provide young persons with the necessary information on their rights at work. 63. The key message of the 2030 Agenda reaffirms the responsibilities of all States and the international community to ensure that no one is left behind. New technological innovations underpinning the fourth industrial revolution, such as big data, threedimensional printing, artificial intelligence and robotics, are having a transformative impact on the nature of work. In order to understand and to respond effectively to these new challenges, ILO has launched a Future of Work initiative. 46 While technologies are likely to lead to a reduction in routine jobs, digitalization also leads to the creation of new jobs, which in return can have a positive effect on economies, creating additional employment. Ensuring gender equality in economic benefits and decision-making processes associated with new opportunities will be essential, beginning with gender equality in the acquisition of new skills. 64. The Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth is an active member of the Solutions for Youth Employment initiative, a multi-stakeholder coalition among the public sector, the private sector, civil society actors, government officials, foundations, think tanks and young people, that aims at providing leadership and resources to increase the number of young people engaged in productive work. In this context, the Envoy on Youth promotes youth participation as a priority. A topic at the centre of the initiative is now youth and female participation in digital jobs. 65. The Envoy on Youth also works with youth directly. She recently launched Young Leaders for Sustainable Development Goals, a learning programme for young people from all regions that focuses on a range of sectors, including agriculture, finance and new technologies, such as artificial intelligence. The programme aims to strengthen youth’s capacity and skills for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. V. Good practices for the realization of the right to work of youth 66. In preparing this report, OHCHR consulted various stakeholders eliciting a large number of submissions, including examples of what could be considered as good practices, as requested by the Human Rights Council. Several representative examples are highlighted below. 67. A good practice47 in this area should enhance youth’s enjoyment of one or more elements of the right to work; pay particular attention to young women and youth belonging to marginalized groups; and be consistent with the enjoyment of all human rights in process and outcome. Practices that meet the above-mentioned criteria also enhance the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of decent work; the active and informed participation of youth in education and work policies, programmes and projects; and monitoring and accountability mechanisms that are effective, transparent and accessible. Submissions of good practices have been clustered thematically. It should be noted that submissions from States showed a wide range of relevant legislation and policies directed at protecting and fulfilling youth’s right to decent work. A. Investing in youth education and technical and vocational training 68. The Back to Education initiative of Ireland provides part-time courses for young adults aged more than 16 who have been out of formal education for two years and is aimed principally at those who have not completed formal school cycles. It gives individuals the 46 47 12 See www.ilo.org/global/topics/future-of-work/WCMS_546802/lang--en/index.htm. The criteria developed by the then Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health on what constitutes a good practice are used and adapted to the right to work, see A/58/427, para. 45.
