Abstract

This edition of the World Employment and Social Outlook (WESO) examines the relationship between decent work and poverty reduction. It starts by documenting trends in poverty around the world while paying close attention to the types of jobs and incomes the poor rely on and the process of structural transformation required to end poverty (Part I). The report then examines how decent-work-friendly policies can contribute to the eradication of poverty (Part II). In particular, it analyses the poverty reduction role of (i) labour standards and rights; (ii) measures to raise productivity in agriculture where most of the poor work; and (iii) labour market and social policies.
