ILO Talks - Global Action for a Recovery that Benefits All

Organised by the ILO

Aim of the meeting

ILO Talks has followed the evolution of the COVID-19 crisis and the international response to its human impact. Following the previous Talks on how the pandemic has transformed the world of work, and how to keep the promise of change post-COVID19, the third talk will focus on how we make substantive change a reality.  ILO Member States and their employer, and worker representatives have adopted a Global Call to Action for a Human-Centred Recovery. It commits countries to an economic and social recovery from the crisis that is fully inclusive, sustainable, and resilient.  It calls for a job-rich recovery that supports workers and enterprises; international policy coherence and coordination around human-centred policies and strategies; and investments in people, skills, the institutions of work and decent work more broadly.  These investments will be key, as will global solidarity, to ensure poorer countries have the financial space to invest and achieve the targets set out in the 2030 agenda and the Call to Action. Finance for development and a human-centred approach, will determine how successful and resilient the global COVID-19 recovery is. Whether it ushers in a new dawn of human development, or sustains the status quo of most of the world barely getting by.

IOE Role

Ms. Akustina Morni, IOE Senior Adviser, will represent the employers and provide the participants with insights into how can we overcome the challenges individuals, enterprises and societies face. Notably, she will address the question "What are the priority actions required to ensure recovery from the COVID crisis benefits all?".
