The Decent Work Imperative

Une tribune, publié par Project Syndicate, de deux responsables des Nations-Unis portant sur le travail décent, insistant sur la nécessité de coordination internationale sur la question.
"According to a recent report by the United Nations, The Employment Imperative: Report on the World Social Situation , national policies aimed at counteracting these trends and lowering unemployment have largely failed. The report shows that in their desire to remain or become more competitive, governments and employers around the world have taken many steps to increase labor market flexibility. But this has merely contributed to greater economic insecurity and greater inequality, while failing to achieve either full or productive employment, as promised."
"At the international level, cooperation and coordination among countries are needed to counteract the pressures of the current “race to the bottom” in the global competition for investment and markets."
