THE GLOBAL JOBS PACT ? EMPLOYERS’’ GUIDE ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION OF EMPLOYERS ? JUNE 2009 ?? ? ?? INTRODUCTION The following guide prepared by the IOE on the Global Jobs Pact, which was agreed at the 98th Session (June 2009) of the International Labour Conference, contains an overview of the Pact’s content, how it can be used by employers and what is now expected from the ILO. As such, it is largely a technical text. However, equally important is how the Pact can be used politically, especially with regard to shaping the ILO’s collaboration with other key multilateral agencies such as the World Bank, IMF, WTO and others. The Pact represents a strong signal to outside actors of what the ILO is and should be. It is grounded in areas of ILO mandate and core competency and reinforces the primacy of the ILO in labour market issues. The Pact is a consensus reached between representatives of government, workers and employers during the 98th Session (June 2009) of the International Labour Conference on the key labour and social policy measures that are needed in helping national states to recover from the crisis and narrow the employment gap (that tends to lag as recovery resumes). It does this by recognising the role of the state in creating the right policy environment to encourage a return to growth. It recognises the government’s role in helping to ease the credit crunch, implementing active labour market policies to help those made unemployed through targeted services and training. It notes the need for effective regulation of the financial system so as to strengthen its capacity to serve the needs of “real economy”
