Launched in October 2014, Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) is a multi-stakeholder coalition among public sector, private sector, and civil society actors that aims to provide leadership and resources for catalytic action to increase the number of young people engaged in productive work. The S4YE coalition includes Accenture, International Labour Organization (ILO), International Youth Foundation (IYF), Plan International, RAND Corporation, the World Bank, Youth Business International (YBI), Microsoft, the MasterCard Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the governments of Germany, Norway, and Albania. Discussions with several other potential partners are currently being finalized, as S4YE would like to further expand its partnership base. The S4YE coalition has an explicit commitment to work over a period of at least fifteen years to achieve its objectives. This timeline is proportionate to the size and scale of the challenge of understanding and addressing constraints to employment that young people face. In the coming years, the Coalition plans to sharpen its focus on innovation, piloting and scaling innovative interventions on youth employment, especially those that better connect supply-side with demand-side interventions, and working very closely with the private sector. This focus on innovative second-generation youth employment programs is an outcome of a meta-analysis of youth employment programs1 . This report highlights innovative practices of 19 youth employment programs and will provide rich input to the design of the second-generation programs.
