5.15 Conclusions: Working Out of Poverty
5.15 Conclusions: Working Out of Poverty
different dimensions of the life of people living in poverty. The value of the
decent work approach lies in the fact that, by focusing on how to create the
conditions in which people can build sustainable livelihoods for themselves,
it encourages policy integration. This is vital if the political commitment
symbolized by the adoption of the Millennium Declaration is to connect to
local communities through practical measures addressing the barriers that
trap people into cycles of poverty.
By facilitating constructive dialogue at national level, the decent work
approach brings out key policy issues where economic and social policies
need to be aligned to the objectives of poverty eradication. It also provides
a framework for international strategies that recognize the specific needs of
developing countries within an agenda of reform of the international architecture
for the governance of globalization.
Poverty is not just a problem for the poor. The goal of a stable world
economy is only possible if the productivity and consumer power of all its citizens
are released. Increasingly intense competition for restricted markets
threatens to create ever more frequent cycles of boom and bust that reward
predatory or speculative behaviour rather than productive investment. A
successful drive to raise the consuming power of the majority of the world’s
population, particularly those on the lowest incomes, is fundamental to the
broadening and deepening of markets.
Political and social stability is similarly hard to envision if a large proportion
of the world’s population not only is currently excluded from the increasingly
visible benefits of economic integration but also sees little or no
opportunity of ever participating in a system that appears discriminatory and
unfair. Increased expenditure on preserving law and order nationally and internationally,
without investing in tackling the roots of the tensions caused
by social injustice, is not an adequate response to growing security concerns.
The world community is preoccupied with containing risks of a breakdown
of stability and security. These risks cannot be ignored. However,
overcoming these dangers requires a vision of the potential of increased international
cooperation for shared objectives. The goal of decent work is a
basic aspiration of individuals, families, communities and nations with
widely varying histories and cultures. It is a cause that unifies and pulls
people together in collaborative endeavour. Furthermore, it is a dream that
can be made a reality by step-by-step progress that builds confidence and trust in our capacity to organize the way we work to make full use of people’s
capabilities.
The ILO is committed to playing a decisive role in organizing a new approach
to working out of poverty. We need a global system that is working
to end poverty by enabling people to enjoy the freedom to work in conditions
of equity, security and human dignity. This Report aims to develop an
agenda for the community of work represented by the ILO’s tripartite constituency
to mobilize its considerable resources in the service of the concerted
global drive to reduce and eradicate poverty.

Eradicating poverty calls for the coordination of policies that focus on
