Slide1

The global development agenda beyond 2015: employment and decent work for all

Stephen PurseyMultilateral Cooperation DepartmentILO( April 2014Slide2

MYWORLD UN Global SurveySlide3

Main outcomes of post-2015 UN consultations: People need better job opportunities

MyWorld survey: Proportion of people from each country who selected jobs as one oftheir

priorities in the post-2015 agendaSlide4

Thinking about jobs: how can we make people’s concerns central in the new agenda?

Recent trends in global economy and implications for employment and growth Designing a new comprehensive, universal and integrated sustainable development frameworkStrategies for employment and

growth

Policy

mechanisms to promote more equitable and sustainable employment trends Slide5

Scale of the Global Jobs Challenge

Crisis-related jobs gap widened to 62 million jobs lost since 2008Slide6

Mixed trends in reduction of working poverty

From 55.2 per cent in 2000, the share of $2 a day working poor declined to 32.1 per cent in 2012, but remained at nearly 60 per cent in LDCs. Progress uneven across regions, with more than 87 per cent of reduction in East Asia. More than half developing world workforce self-employed or unpaid family workers – likely to be informal.15 per cent of developing world’s total workforce still living on below $1.25 a day - nearly 400 million workers - two thirds in South Asia and Sub Saharan African - mainly in agriculture.Slide7

Two-thirds of Africans working but living in poverty

Incidence of working poverty remains high in AfricaTotal working poor rising to around 200 million workers Slide8

Employment Transformation

Movement of working women and men from less productive work that barely yields a living, to better jobs. Economic transformation helps create opportunities for decent work, and more and better jobs feeds back into growth dynamics making it more inclusive and sustainable.

Access to safe, productive and fairly remunerated work is a key vehicle for individuals and families to gain self-esteem, a sense of belonging to a community and a way to make a productive contribution. Slide9

Jobs and environmental, economic and social sustainability challenges

Transforming consumption, production and employment patterns onto trajectories that do not damage our environment.Developing countries exports to high income countries much

less buoyant

requiring

a reorientation of growth drivers towards national markets and South

South

trade.

Most higher income and some middle income countries moving into an era of population ageing.

World labour force increasing by over 40 million per year, but gradually declining. To keep pace with the growth, which mainly in developing

world, close the crisis jobs gap,

some

670

million new jobs needed by 2030

,more

to raise female participation

.Slide10

Employment and social policies to manage transformations

New policies to crowd in investment in the real economy, - not just lower interest rates, but dedicated finance for smaller enterprises, support to innovation and ITC, green industries, and labour-intensive public infrastructure programmes in the poorest countries.Skills for youth, women and for industries and workers in transitions.

Well-designed policies and institutions, including minimum wages and employment protection laws, which build fair and efficient labour markets and smooth formalization.

Investment in social protection and, for the poorest countries, social protection floors offering a basic set of income and health guarantees. Slide11

Employment and social policies to manage transformations (continued)

A focus on gender equality, through for example investment in early child hood day care facilities and stepped up anti-discrimination legislation.A sufficient tax base, progressive tax systems and restraints to tax-motivated illicit financial flows, in order to generate public revenues to support productive and social investments.Remedying the dearth of information about the numbers, tenure and quality of jobs. Improvement in the collection and availability of labour market statistics promotes employment creation because of its implications for accountability, transparency and effectiveness of policy-making. Slide12

Decent Work and Development: where is the UN today?

MDGs target 1b “Full and productive Employment and Decent Work for All” – UN and ILO Post 2015 Reflection Open Working Group Negotiations ImplementationSlide13

Messages from the post-2015 global

thematic consultation on growth and employmentAdopting a stand-alone goal on employment

in the post-2015 agenda with clear and measurable indicators.

Decent

jobs

for the poor and most vulnerable as a pre-requisite for sustained inclusive growth.

Addressing

the structural causes of unemployment and promoting

economic diversification

and recognizing that governments must be responsible for driving structural transformation through coherent policies.

Development-friendly

macroeconomic policies

.

Expanding

social protection systems

as a crucial policy tools to reducing poverty and inequality and fostering social cohesion.

Combining

employment generation

programmes

Key reports on Post-2015

The report of the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (HLP) recommended an illustrative global goal on "Creating jobs, sustainable livelihoods and equitable growth". The Secretary-General’s report to the 68th session of the UNGA on the MDGs in September 2013 noted that

inclusive growth, decent employment and social protection

had been essential to drive progress on the existing

MDGs

The SDSN report suggest a development goal with a target on

decent work

and a goal on learning with a target on that
