A new report published by McKinsey & Company, Education to Employment: Designing a System that Works, seeks to provide answers to a conundrum that governments and businesses around the world are facing: "high levels of youth unemployment and a shortage of job seekers with critical skills. How can a country successfully move its young people from education to employment? What are the challenges? Which interventions work? How can these be scaled up? These are the crucial questions." 

In the report, the authors attempt to answer these questions, based on an analysis of two unique surveys: "The first is an analysis of more than 100 education-to-employment initiatives from 25 countries, selected on the basis of their innovation and effectiveness. The second is a survey of youth, education providers, and employers in nine countries that are diverse in geography and socioeconomic context: Brazil, Germany, India, Mexico, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States."
