Inclusion in civil society as a labor market strategy - how do we proceed? Save the Children plans to apply for funding for a pilot study from the Swedish ESF Council. The pilot study will be used to investigate how Save the Children Sweden and partner organizations including, Individuell männinskohjälp (IM), Skåne Stasdmission, RF-SISU Skåne and Sensus, together can work to create measures for better inclusion and diversity of young people between the ages of 15-24. We see Civil society as an important actor in the labor market, primarily in aspects related to our role as an employer, where we are significantly contributing to an expanded network of contacts and social capital, and adding value to an arena for labor integration. In addition, Civil Society is a vital resource and support for people on their way back to the labor market or exploring a whole new labor market. Therefore, we find it necessary for organizations in civil society to enable more competence development and tools at the individual level, as well as for structural and organizational changes to take place. The purpose of the pilot study is to create a survey and analysis of civil society's ability to include young people aged 15-24 in their organizations. Based on the analysis, our measures for better inclusion in the labor market and various working methods for changing structures within civil society will then be developed. The pilot study also serves as a basis for the coming stages of our partnership, which is to create a well-developed project application for the social fund program 2021-2027 with a focus on developing compentency and skills of civil society actors. We see opportunities and benefits for individuals to be part of the non-profit sector; such as a job preparation but also as a potential workplace. The non-profit sector has challenges in its journey to provide the conditions for inclusion and in creating diversity. There is a need for an analysis of what efforts need to be made and what new methods need to be developed in order to facilitate the work of breaking the homogeneity tendency that many organizations have to contend with. Many non-profit organizations already have strategies for working with issues of diversity and inclusion based on human rights and non-discrimination, but a deeper analysis of the problem is needed to be able to develop appropriate tools for concrete work on these issues. The results at the individual, organizational and project level required to achieve the expected effects are: • Increase the opportunity for an inclusive and sustainable working life for all, • Promote lifelong learning, • Encourage active inclusion (Swedish)
