1.15 Building an employment agenda: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Employment, and the promotion of enterprise that creates it, remains
the most effective route to poverty eradication. The objective of full employment
is essential – an issue on which the European Union has given political
leadership. Most policy prescriptions, however, do not view job creation as
an explicit objective of economic and social policies, but rather as a hopedfor
result of sound macroeconomic policies. At the ILO, we believe that
sound macroeconomic policies are essential for desired growth, but such
growth must be employment-intensive to effectively reduce poverty. While
the main challenge remains at the national level, development cooperation
has a role to play. Donor countries and institutions, especially international
financial institutions, should build this in as an integral part of their vision. |
