“Recipes” for “Sustainable Employment Generation” ?
- No! – Employment/DW are new topics for donor agencies I came to learn from you
- Yet, in UN-meetings governments have to pretend that we have the answers: Please see the EU Main Statement in UN-ECOSOC on Decent Work (drafted by myself)
Comments, criticism, advice would be most welcome!

“Recipes” ? – Perhaps these: 1) Place employment creation at the centre of macro-economic policy2) Focus on production rather than trade only.and domestic/cross-border mkts vs. exports only3) Support ministries etc. responsible for employment & social policy (build capacity to articulate ’EMPL/SOC’ to Min.of Finance)4) Priority: Youth Employment Crisis5) Invest into People: Employability, skills & social protection: ”Unlock” human capital & entrepreneurship through credible risk mngt movement into higher risk/higher return activities.

for Africa / ’Global South’ ? Yes. Defined not only as:
- jobs (8-16)- formal sector
But: All Work for a Living, and social protection for those too young, old, disabled, etc. to earn their secure
livelihoods through work.

WDR-2006 – Stronger language Unequal power leads to the formation of institutions that
perpetuate inequalities in power, status and wealth These same institutions are also bad for the investment,
innovation and risk-taking that underpin long-term growth.
To prosper, a society must create incentives for the vast majority of the population to invest and innovate.
But possible only when the distribution of power is not highly unequal, and where there are constraints on the exercise of power by office-holders.
Cross-country data and historical narratives (e.g Finland) give evidence of Growth through equity.
