ILO Employment Policies

The global jobs crisis requires a bold shift in policy. Economic stability alone won’t create the jobs we need for sustainable development. Macroeconomic policies must be designed with employment creation at their core. From fiscal to monetary policies, we need strategies that foster job-rich growth and ensure decent, inclusive work for all. This is more than just a policy adjustment—it’s a paradigm shift that can unlock a future where employment is not a secondary goal but a primary objective.

No policy is #employment neutral. This means working across all policies at all levels in a coordinated way and forging a comprehensive employment policy framework. One crucial element is social dialogue and collaboration among all stakeholders—employers, workers and governments—to close the growing jobs gap of more than +400 million un- or under-employed people.

Employment Satellite Account: From “Employed” to “Full-Time Equivalent” Reliable #employment data is key to assessing the impact of #policies and programmes—but official sources often fall short. This new International Labour Organization publication uses ILOSTAT to clean and impute missing #data at the 2-digit ISIC level, helping close the analytical gap. The result? Employment estimates by headcount and full-time equivalents, disaggregated by sex, age, #skills, and formality—covering 187 countries from 2004 to 2021, and subsequently mapped into or aggregated to for 158 countries and regions to match the GTAP territorial classification Read the full publication: https://lnkd.in/dQWqyKDg #datacleaning #employmentdata Guannan Miao, Mito Tsukamoto, ILO Africa, ILO Horn of Africa
