Answer 1

Although this technology may not be of decisive importance to the very poorest

countries, it may still exert a major influence on their ability to acquire

knowledge and tap into global networks. Without minimal levels of

competence in ICT, poor countries may find themselves excluded from markets

which they are otherwise competent to supply.2

Executive summary

The focus of this paper is on best practice examples from mainly Asia-Pacific ILO member

countries of the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) to generate youth

employment. The initiatives are presented against a background that acknowledges the

differences in the technological and socio-economic capacity between countries.

Examples of ICT-related employment opportunities for young people are used to illustrate the

following best practice principles: promoting youth entrepreneurship; promoting public-private

partnerships; targeting vulnerable groups of young people; and bridging the gap between the

digital economy and the informal sector and putting young people in charge.

The third part of the paper discusses, in more general terms, some common misconceptions

about the use of ICT in developing countries, the potential gains ICT offers in relation to youth

employment and society more widely, and the obstacles developing countries in particular face

in trying to realise these benefits.

The best practice initiatives confirm that several constraints to access, which apply in high-

income countries, are much less important in the different social context of developing

countries.3 The best practice examples cited show that ICT access does not require personal

ownership of a computer; nor does it require the use of expensive computers. The initiatives

also show the potential that the widespread use of mobile phones offer for young people.
