The labour market in Africa / Jean-Pierre Lachaud  

Public ISBD Titre : The labour market in Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jean-Pierre Lachaud, Auteur Editeur : Genève [Suisse] : International Institute for Labour Studies Année de publication : 1994 Collection : Research Series num. 102 Importance : 178 p Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Travail Tags : Travail  Emploi  Afrique  Politique d'ajustement structurel Index. décimale : 05.02 Syndicalisme Résumé : In the mid 1980s, the International Institute for Labour Studies (ELS) launched a new programme on labour market issues. It was a time when the institutions of the labour market were under severe pressure. In the Third World, poverty had started to increase again in the face of deep recession and increasing indebtedness. In many cities, open unemployment was emerging alongside persistent underemployment and low productivity. In industrialized countries, unemployment was rising to levels unknown since the 1930s, and traditional systems of industrial relations were in retreat. The causes of these trends were contested, but labour market malfunctioning was widely viewed as an important factor: Some argued that wages were too high or too inflexible, that government policy created distortions, that trade unions prevented the market from functioning effectively... But these were presumptions and suppositions. Little hard evidence existed on the functioning of labour markets in low-income settings, on the role played by different institutions, on the significance of unemployment and its relationship with underemployment and poverty.

World of work report 2011    

Public ISBD Titre : World of work report 2011 : Making markets work for jobs Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Genève [Suisse] : International Institute for Labour Studies Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 159 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-92-9014-974-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Emploi Tags : Emploi  Salaires  Sécurité alimentaire  Fiscalité  Réformes  Politique de l'emploi Résumé : (...) The responsibility for making markets work for jobs rests primarily with national governments. They have at their disposal a rich panoply of measures inspired by the ILO Global Jobs Pact – ranging from job-friendly social protection programmes, to well-designed minimum wages and employment regulations and productive social dialogue- which can be quickly mobilized in combination with job-friendly macroeconomic and financial settings. It is especially important to move quickly on this front in the Euro-area, where the signs of economic weakening are strongest. There is also a critical role for international policy coordination. This task has become more difficult given the different cyclical positions of countries. However, the Report’s findings suggest that a job recession in one region will, sooner or later, affect economic and social prospects in the other regions. Conversely, the interconnectedness of economies means that, if countries act in a coordinated way, any favourable effects on employment will be amplified. In this regard, the G20 has a special leadership role to play in keeping employment, along with fiscal and financial issues, high on the global policy agenda. Here too, time is of the essence.
