1.6 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
   

The ILO has invested 25 years of pioneering work in the field of employment-intensive infrastructure programmes. It has been successful. It is now widely recognized that these programmes are effective in bringing much needed income to poor families and their communities. These efforts create between three and five times as much employment for the same level of investment.

The ILO’s labour-intensive projects respect standards, promote gender equality and encourage enterprise development through contracting systems.

And by improving the infrastructure, these projects deliver longerterm impact to the whole community. To learn more about this author, visit International Labour Organization's Website.

About the Author


International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website) As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
