To commemorate this event, the Jordanian
Labor Observatory called for removing obstacles to youth engagement in the
labor market. It pointed out that several sectors suffer from significant
deficiencies in decent working conditions, such as agriculture, construction,
and textiles. This creates challenging circumstances for many young men and
women seeking new jobs, pushing them to refrain from working in these sectors,
Ammon News reported.
The theme for 2023 is "The Importance
of Developing Youth Skills for the Green Economy in
Achieving a Sustainable World." This theme aims to focus the international community's attention
on youth issues and celebrate their potential as partners in the contemporary
global society.
The
General Assembly recommended organizing
media activities to support this day as a means to raise awareness about the
World Programme of Action for Youth. This program plays a vital role in youth
development and focuses on strengthening national capacities in the field of
youth.
