Abstract
The relentless march of technological progress and globalization has exacerbated a pre-existing issue: the skills gap between young people's qualifications and the demands of the modern workplace. The skills gap between young people's qualifications and the demands of the modern workplace is a pressing issue exacerbated by technological progress and globalization. This paper explores the multifaceted causes of this gap and its detrimental impact on youth employment. It proposes a multi-pronged approach to bridge this divide, including educational reforms, enhanced skill development programs, and strengthened employer-academia partnerships. By implementing these solutions, we can empower younger generations to thrive in the evolving world of work.
