Young people and people with #disabilities are among the most disadvantaged groups when it comes to getting a decent job and progressing in their careers. Unfortunately, when young age and disability are combined, the labour market situation is even more dire. The COVID-19 pandemic has further aggravated the challenges of the estimated 180 to 220 million young persons with disabilities around the world.

The webinar "Making Skills and Jobs Inclusive of Young Persons with Disabilities" - jointly organised by the Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth, Generation Unlimited and the ILO Global Business and Disability Network - aims to spotlight good corporate practices and experiences from around the world that support young persons with disabilities in entering and staying in decent work, including through disability mainstreaming in vocational skills initiatives.
