What is the theme of World Youth Skills Day, 2021?

A Young People and Skills
B Skills Development and Employment
C Young People and Entrepreneurship
D Reimagining Youth Skills Post Pandemic

Correct answer: (d) Reimagining Youth Skills Post Pandemic

Explanation

  1. A

    Young People and Skills

    (a) Young People and Skills. A generic phrase, not the United Nations theme printed for 15 July 2021.

  2. B

    Skills Development and Employment

    (b) Skills Development and Employment. Close to older skills-day language, but not the 2021 title.

  3. C

    Young People and Entrepreneurship

    (c) Young People and Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship was not the 2021 World Youth Skills Day theme.

  4. D

    Reimagining Youth Skills Post Pandemic

    (d) Reimagining Youth Skills Post Pandemic. World Youth Skills Day is observed on 15 July. For 2021 the United Nations and UNESCO-UNEVOC theme was ‘Reimagining Youth Skills Post-Pandemic’, answering Covid-era disruption of training and work. That wording is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Reimagining Youth Skills Post Pandemic. The 2021 skills-day theme looked ahead after the pandemic, not at a generic ‘youth and skills’ slogan. The day itself was created by the United Nations in 2014. Options (a)–(c) recycle plausible phrases that were not the 2021 title.
