Seasonal work in New Zealand picking fruit provides not only jobs for people from Pacific Island countries, but also opportunities to return home with new skills. The seasonal migration program has been designed together with trade unions, employers and the government to ensure that both migrating workers and farmers benefit. This and other successful labour migration schemes are being discussed at the International Conference on Small Island Developing States taking place in Samoa from September 1-4, 2014.

Across the African continent, more than 15 million young people are unemployed. Most of those who are working earn less than two US dollars a day. The ILO’s Youth to Youth Fund (Y2Y Fund) is a competitive grant scheme, which enables youth-led non-profit organizations to pilot and replicate innovative projects that create employment for young people by helping them set up micro-enterprises in niche markets.
