EMPINVEST
Employment in Investments Branch
EMPINVEST mainstreams employment and decent work into investment policies and programmes, trade and sectoral strategies at national level, while supporting a rights-based approach, and promoting the humanitarian development peace nexus. We support governments, social partners, development partners and international financial institutions to contributing to economic development, transition to formality, resilience, equality and environmental sustainability by:
- Ensuring that measures of quantity and quality of jobs are embedded in sectoral, trade and investment policies, programmes and projects;
- Promoting employment-intensive investments, including through sectoral strategies, supporting job creation, work-based learning and through the provision of transformative infrastructure and services;
- Supporting the transitions towards formal employment and to a greener economy through structural transformation in selected sectors which are crucial for economic stability and shared prosperity;
- Addressing challenges related to the risks of rapid technological change, particularly digitalization with the risk of leaving out the most vulnerable, highlighting the need for appropriate technologies and an inclusive development approach.
