At the United Nations 69th session
on 18 December 2014, the General Assembly expressed concern on the high number
of unemployed youth, estimated globally at 74.5 million in 2013, the majority
of whom live in developing countries. It noted that Member States have an
important role in meeting the needs and aspirations of youth, particularly in
developing countries. Recognizing that fostering the acquisition of skills by
youth would enhance their ability to make informed choices with regard to life
and work and empower them to gain access to changing labour markets, the United
Nations General Assembly decide to designate 15 July as World Youth Skills
Day. The United Nations Invites all Member States, the organizations of the
United Nations system and other international and regional organizations, as
well as civil society, including youth-led organizations, to commemorate World
Youth Skills Day in an appropriate manner, in accordance with national
priorities, including through education, campaigns, volunteering and public
awareness-raising activities.
