World of Work Report 2012 by International Institute for Labour Studies,International Labour Office Pdf

The World of Work Report provides a comprehensive analysis of recent labor market and social trends, assesses risks of social unrest, and presents employment projections for the next five years. The report addresses the following questions: - To what extent has the slow recovery aggravated social conditions, including falling incomes, deepening poverty, and worsening inequality? - Have countries gone too far, too fast with fiscal consolidation? How should they support recovery while meeting fiscal goals in the medium term? - What can be expected from recent labor market reforms? - How can investment be boosted so as to ensure a long-lasting recovery in both the economy and jobs? - What have been the barriers to implementing a more job-centered and equity-enhancing policy approach? Why has the business-as-usual scenario maintained its centrality despite the increasing risk of social unrest? The report calls for a policy approach that takes into consideration the urgent need to create quality jobs and also lays the ground for a more productive, fairer economy and labor market.

World Employment and Social Outlook by INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE. Pdf

It also provides extensive analysis of the crisis's varied impact on enterprises and workers.The report forecasts that employment recovery, though strong, will be insufficient to close the gaps. Workers whose labour market position was disadvantageous prior to the crisis - women, young people, migrants, informal workers and workers in lower-skilled occupations - suffered disproportionately. The report proposes a human-centred recovery strategy to avoid scarring of global labour markets for the years to come.

World of Work Report 2011 by International Labor International Labor Office,International Institute for Labour Studies Pdf

No one sees the world as Jason Padgett does. Water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns, numbers call to mind distinct geometric shapes, and intricate fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches, revealing the intrinsic mathematical designs hidden in the objects around us. Yet Padgett wasn't born this way. Twelve years ago, he had never made it past pre-algebra. But a violent mugging forever altered the way his brain works, giving him unique gifts. His ability to understand math and physics skyrocketed, and he developed the astonishing ability to draw the complex geometric shapes he saw everywhere. His stunning, mathematically precise artwork illustrates his intuitive understanding of complex mathematics. The first documented case of acquired savant syndrome with mathematical synesthesia, Padgett is a medical marvel. "Struck by Genius" recounts how he overcame huge setbacks and embraced his new mind. Along the way he fell in love, found joy in numbers, and spent plenty of time having his head examined. Like "Born on a Blue Day" and "My Stroke of Insight," his singular story reveals the wondrous potential of the human brain.

World of Work Report 2010 by International Labor International Labor Office,International Institute for Labour Studies Pdf

Economic recovery from the worldwide financial crisis remains weak and uneven, resulting in persistently high unemployment in some countries and growing job precariousness almost everywhere. This report shows that a sustainable, job-rich recovery is possible--provided that the factors that led to the crisis are tackled. The report provides answers to these key questions: - When will employment recover strongly enough to mitigate the effects of the crisis? - Is there a significant risk that the poor employment prospects will lead to social unrest and erode confidence in policymakers' ability to provide fair solutions to the crisis? - Do governments have adequate maneuvering room to support employment recovery while reducing budget deficits? - How can well-designed employment and wage policies support more balanced growth in countries with large trade surpluses, paving the way for a sustainable global recovery? - In what ways can the financial sector be reformed to serve the needs of the real economy?

World Development Report 2019 by World Bank Pdf

Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Women in Business and Management by Anonim Pdf

As women overtake men in education, they are running one-third of the world's businesses. However, women business-owners are concentrated in small and microbusinesses; fewer than 5 percent of CEOs of the largest global corporations are women. "Women in Business and Management" brings together available data and ILO statistics to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and global picture of women in the business world and in management positions. The report highlights the business case for gender diversity, the obstacles that women still face, and ways to move ahead. It advocates a greater role for national business organizations, which can assist their member companies in implementing policies and measures to recruit and retain talented women.

Working Towards Sustainable Development by International Labour Office Pdf

A green economy is necessary if sustainable development is to be realised. However, as this report emphasizes, a green economy can also, if accompanied by the right policy mix, create more and better jobs, lift people out of poverty and promote social inclusion. In fact, the growth model of the past few decades has been inefficient, not only economically, but also from environmental, employment and social perspectives. It overuses natural resources, is environmentally unsustainable and has failed to meet the aspirations of a large proportion of society seeking productive, decent work and dignified lives. A new development model - one which puts people, fairness and the planet at the core of policy-making - is urgently needed, and is eminently achievable. More fundamentally, this report demonstrates that employment and social inclusion must be integral parts of any sustainable development strategy and must be included in policies that address climate change and ensure the preservation of the environment. In particular, the report assesses the sectoral, employment and income implications of the transition to a green economy. It highlights the necessary conditions, policy prescriptions and good practices required to ensure that the green economy is characterized by gains in job quality, reductions in poverty and improvements in social inclusion.
