Unemployment and underemployment remain key societal challenges, with approximately 600 million jobs that need to be created by 2030 just to keep pace with the growth of the working age population[1] . Today, more than 61 per cent of the world’s employed population, make their living in the informal economy [2]. Environmental degradation is affecting the quality and the quantity of jobs available, and nearly 2 billion people are currently estimated to live in fragile and conflict-affected contexts, where poverty is increasingly concentrated [3].
The ITCILO DEVINVEST Programme supports the planning and implementation of employment-intensive investments, employment-centred policies for countries in fragile settings, transitions to the formal economy, and the maximization of the employment impact of trade and sectoral policies. In so doing, the ITCILO DEVINVEST Programme pays special attention to the inclusion of vulnerable groups, including through digital inclusion, and strengthening public procurement as a tool to support the adequate implementation of employment intensive investments programmes.
