Employment - an important factor in poverty reduction in all countries
25/5/16
2016
annual report of “Employment and social problems in the world” with the title:
“Job conversion to end poverty” emphasized the influence of the poverty rate
inequality of income and good job in the developed and developing countries.
According
to the report, while poverty has decreased in most countries in the past two
decades, especially in China and Latin American countries, but in Africa and
some Asian countries, the poverty rate remains at high level. Moreover, poverty
has increased in the developed countries, especially in Europe, where more than
300 million people in developed countries lived in poverty in 2012.
Furthermore,
poverty also affects more women and children. In emerging and developing
countries, more than half of children under age of 15 living in extreme or
inadequate poverty. In developed countries, 36% of all children live below the
relative poverty threshold.
Meanwhile,
the recent deterioration of the economic outlook in Asia, Latin America, Arab
countries and resource-rich countries increasingly make social progress and
employment become more fragile. Even in some countries, the inequality is rising
again. Similarly, Europe and other developed countries have recently witnessed
poverty levels worsened again.
“If
it lacks of progress in creating good jobs, goal of poverty reduction by 2030
will not be achieved” - the report said, and added that it is especially
important to dismantle the obstacles in the work of poverty reduction by changing
jobs.
According
to the International Labour Organization, first of all, we need to expand the
production facilities and the promotion of sustainable enterprises. Secondly,
strengthen and institutionalize the rights of the labor market. Thirdly,
improve the effectiveness of social policies, employment and expand their
scope. Finally, it needs to provide sufficient resources for the strategy to be
approved./.
