Youth Aspirations and the Future of Work: A Review of the Literature and Evidence (International Labour Organization)
This report aims to (i) review the literature on the concepts and drivers of aspirations; (ii) develop a conceptual framework that relates labour market conditions to aspirations; (iii) map the existing survey-based evidence on the aspirations of youth worldwide; and (iv) provide insights into how to improve data collection, research and evidence-based policy-making related to young people’s aspirations.
Work exposure, exploration and experience (Education and Employers)

The She-covery Project: Confronting the Gendered Economic Impacts of COVID-19 in Ontario (Ontario Chamber of Commerce)
The COVID-19 crisis is having a disproportionate economic impact on women, with women’s labour participation rate falling to its lowest in 30 years. This brief lays out a path to Ontario’s “she-covery” by offering practical recommendations to confront both immediate and longer-term challenges.
Adapting to the Changing World of Work: Final Report from the 2020 Survey on Employment and Skills (Environics Institute)
The 2020 Survey on Employment and Skills began prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. The survey finds that Canadians tend to have a positive assessment of both the impact of technological change and the value of the post-secondary education and skills training that they have received. At the same time, many are also concerned about job security for themselves or their family.
