Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia, more than 50% of jobs were deemed to be unstable by the ILO in 2018. At the same time, the strong growth of tourism creates a real integration opportunity for vulnerable populations. Since 2002, the IECD has supported the training of young people in careers in hospitality-catering and mobilizes vocational training stakeholders in this sector within the ASSET – H&C network. In Vietnam, the IECD also targets the industry and energy sector via support for two technical schools. Finally, the Support for Small Entrepreneurs continues to pursue its goal to help the very poorest, in particular street vendors with an 80% population of women.
