What has been driving work-to-work transitions in the emerging world? – A comparative study of Indonesia and South Africa - mobi

This paper examines the shape, prominence and drivers of work-to-work transitions in South Africa and Indonesia – two middle-income countries with similar development levels yet different labour market characteristics. We employ a comparative cross-country methodology using long-term panel data. This enables us to examine work-to-work transitions across and within age cohorts and exploit the panel structure of the data through a fixed-effects model to identify the drivers of these transitions.

Apprenticeships Development for Universal Lifelong Learning and Training (ADULT)

Good practices in Apprenticeships in South-Africa: Challenges and Opportunities

This report was compiled under the ILO’s research project – Apprenticeship Development for Universal Lifelong Learning and Training (ADULT) – funded by the Government of Flanders. The project aims to explore how apprenticeship systems are being modernised and transformed to promote and enable lifelong learning and decent work for youth, adults, and older workers (both employed and unemployed). The “Good practices in Apprenticeships in South-Africa: Challenges and Opportunities” country level report has been produced by the ILO as part of the ADULT project. It provides an overview of the South African apprenticeship system and captures contextual factors at the country level with a view to modernizing apprenticeships. The report also highlights the specific challenges of the system, including social stigma, levels of development of the apprenticeship system, gender inequalities as well as examples of good practice and initiatives taken to improve apprenticeship training in South Africa.
