Abstract:

Globally, scientific and technological progress has triggered industrial change, which has intensified the demand for highly skilled talents in the labor market. At the same time, with the popularization of higher education, the privilege of diplomas in the labor market has gradually faded, and countries have begun to explore the talent training model of “education+skills”. Skilled society, as a new social form, has attracted widespread attention. However, as a new force in the labor market, many young people face challenges in skills mastery, skills adaptation and skills use, and youth unemployment at home and abroad is a serious problem, which reflects the dislocation and imbalance between the supply of skills in the education system and the demand for skills in the job market. Under the trend of globalization, technological change and educational transformation, the optimization of the skills system has become an international affair, which needs to be strategically laid out from a global perspective, following a dual logic orientation, focusing on lifelong skills formation, but also considering the cooperation of countries in skills certification, skills governance and skills monitoring, and formulating an action framework for global skills development under both vertical and horizontal logics.

Key words: skills, youth, education, employment
