Likewise, young people without a strong skills foundation are more likely to drop out of school and face difficulties finding jobs while those who drop out and are jobless can hardly maintain and enhance their skills. Policies can influence the dynamics between skills, education and employment, and ensure that a larger share of youth follow the virtuous circle of skills which leads to graduation and employment and henceforth to better skills. The OECD Employment Outlook 2014 shows that educational attainment and skills affect the probability of finding a job and its level of pay (OECD, 2014b).
