Implementation of the Global Employment Agenda: An update
ثبت نشده
چکیده
1. At its March 2003 session, the Committee requested the Office to report on a regular basis on individual countries’ efforts in implementing the Global Employment Agenda including accounts of obstacles faced and successes achieved. The ILO has a wide-ranging programme to assist countries and the social partners in promoting employment growth and poverty alleviation in different parts of the world. This paper covers how the Global Employment Agenda contributes to the implementation of the ILO’s strategy for promoting decent work at the country level. It also discusses the role of the Global Employment Agenda in the drawing up of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) by making employment a central means of working out of poverty. The paper draws lessons from past experience which have an important bearing on the development of the Global Employment Agenda. The Agenda needs to both build on experiences and to “learn by doing”.
