Jobs (decent work)

Employed, productive populations fuel investment, sustainable economic growth, and inclusive progress. But with the majority of the working age population in developing countries employed in informal and insecure jobs, there is an urgent need for expanded opportunities for fair wages, safe working environments, and social protection.

²ÝÁñÊÓƵ research is helping to find ways to encourage the movement of workers from the informal sector to the more productive formal sector. Concurrently, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ is helping to illuminate opportunities for more dynamic informal firms to grow and ways for people working in these firms to achieve decent and remunerative work.
