by UNDP Regional Centre in Colombo and ILO

http://www.ilo.org/asia/library/download/pub07-03.pdf
[full-text, 52 pages]
This report is an attempt to update the Asian experience on the linkage between
growth, employment and poverty. Apart from focusing on a number of analytical
issues, it updates and attempts to deepen the lessons of past findings by drawing
upon a number of recent case studies on the subject coming from the collaboration of
the UNDP with the ILO. Section II is concerned with issues of the nature and
measurement of the magnitude of employment linkage. Section III discusses the
broad features of growth and poverty reduction in the countries included in the new
set of case studies. Section IV highlights the major findings of the case studies adding
insights from the findings of other studies (e.g., the ILO case studies in Islam, 2006).
Section V evaluates the Asian development experience in this area and seeks for
future development policy. Section VI concludes by briefly highlighting the important
findings.
Equality at work: tackling the challenges: Global report under the follow-up to the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work

The report provides a global picture of job-related discrimination, citing both progress
and failures in the struggle to fight discrimination ranging from traditional forms such
as sex, race or religion, to newer forms based on age, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS
status and disability.
