“Making Globalization Socially Sustainable” and “Trade and Employment: From Myths to Facts - ILO-EC publication”
Marion Jansen, ILO
“Making Globalization Socially Sustainable”
Globalization is widely seen as a powerful engine that has the potential to promote growth and development. For many years, however, concerns have also been raised about the effects of globalization on jobs and wages. This has led to questions about the social sustainability of globalization. This volume consists of contributions by leading academic experts who analyse the various channels through which globalization affects jobs and wages.
“Trade and Employment: From Myths to Facts - ILO-EC publication”
The edited volume “Trade and Employment: From Myths to Facts” is the outcome of a joint project of the European Commission and the International Labour Office. The book contributes to promoting the advancement of employment, decent work and social cohesion in developing countries by assisting policy makers and social partners in anticipating and addressing the effects of trade reforms on employment.
