4.0 Sustainable pro-poor growth and the governance of the labour market: Working Out of Poverty
4.0 Sustainable pro-poor growth and the governance of the labour market: Working Out of Poverty
poverty from the perspective of the drive to create decent work for
women and men. Such a viewpoint helps to focus the attention of public authorities,
from the local to the global level, the social partners and relevant
groups in civil society on how to make institutions and markets serve better
the needs of those most at risk of being trapped in poverty.
Sustainable pro-poor growth and the governance of the labour market
The ILO approach to poverty reduction through decent work, described
in Chapter 3, has considerable potential. But a wide process of institutional
change is needed to create the conditions in which businesses, trade
unions, cooperatives, communities and public authorities act together to
overcome exclusion and discrimination and open opportunities for productive
and decent work. It is central to poverty eradication for societies and
economic systems to be organized in a way that enlarges the freedoms and
opportunities of people living in poverty, who need to be able to work in conditions
of equity, security and human dignity.
This chapter situates the work of the ILO in the context of the debate
about the appropriate institutions for poverty-reducing development. It
looks at the importance of the universally accepted values reflected in the
ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. By giving
people title over their own labour, these serve as a foundation enabling governments,
employers and workers to build fairer and more efficient governance
mechanisms for the labour market. The chapter examines how
weaknesses in governance result in a large informal economy where development
is inhibited by barriers to investment, enterprise development and
increased employment in decent conditions. It also discusses how social dialogue
can facilitate the formulation and reform of labour laws and collective
bargaining systems by helping to balance the twin imperatives of flexibility
and security. These are inherent in creating decent work opportunities in a
rapidly changing global market. The chapter concludes that the ILO’s tripartite
constituency is in a position to mobilize its considerable energy and creativity
to connect local action to combat poverty to national strategies for
equitable development and the international drive to achieve the Millennium
Development Goals.

It is revealing to look at the challenge of reducing and eventually eliminating
poverty from the perspective of the drive to create decent work for
women and men. Such a viewpoint helps to focus the attention of public authorities,
from the local to the global level, the social partners and relevant
groups in civil society on how to make institutions and markets serve better
the needs of those most at risk of being trapped in poverty.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
