Aug 2023 Intervention Sector(s): Gender issues Women face a number of challenges in accessing and completing quality education and training, and, subsequently, in transitioning to decent employment. They are more likely to be in vulnerable employment, such as informal employment and in unpaid family work. Occupational segregation remains a predominant feature of training and labour markets, limiting women choices and confining them to lower-paid and lower-status jobs. All these factors further contribute to their social and economic marginalization. Demand-driven technical and vocational education and training (TVET), flexible to respond to the changing needs of the market, is recognised as an effective route to skills development and employment. If TVET is combined with business education, it can also be an effective strategy to help people create jobs and generate employment, rather than only seeking jobs in a limited economy. However, TVET is often considered a second-best choice for students, behind general education. It is not common for business training to be routinely offered as part of TVET training, even though many of the skills development courses are well suited to lead to self-employment. published on 23 Aug 2023.
