2.1.1.1 Countering the risk of marginalization and social exclusion[edit | edit source]

Young people all over the world face challenges when trying to find employment and establish their own independence.

According to a recent report by the International Labour Organization, 267 million young people worldwide are neither in employment, education nor training.

Without education, work experience and an income, young people - especially those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds - are unlikely to break the cycle of a lifetime of continued poverty. GoTeach was launchend in 2009 in response to this ever increasing challenge, in a bid to provide real support and improve employability.
