Policy Resources: Economic Empowerment
We work to support the creation of environments that support children and young people to become the decision makers in their own economic development.
Our influencing work aims to place the rights and the wellbeing of children and young people at its centre. This includes their right to be prepared for, and to have the opportunity to engage in, safe and decent work of their choosing and to make a positive contribution to society.
Our work ensures young people are supported to acquire work-related skills and have the ability to make informed choices about their working lives.
