The implementation of the rights of the child during adolescence 2016, para. 73
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Significant numbers of adolescents are not in education, training or employment, leading to disproportionate levels of unemployment, underemployment and exploitation as they move towards adulthood. The Committee urges States to support out-of-school adolescents in a manner appropriate to their age to facilitate the transition to decent work, including by ensuring consistency between education and labour laws, and to adopt policies to promote their future employment. In line with article 28 (1) (d) adolescents, States should make educational and vocational information and guidance available and accessible to adolescents.
