International Seminar: Employment and Inequality Outcomes
As part of the increased dialogue and cooperation between the OECD and the Enhanced Engagement countries, the purpose of this joint Seminar of the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS) and the Development Centre (DEV) was to review the evolution of the quantity and quality of employment and its impact on poverty and inequality, with a specific focus on Brazil, China and India. Based on an in-depth assessment of labour market trends in each of these countries, the seminar discussed policy options towards more and better jobs.
The structure of the seminar was as follows: It started with a presentation of the main trends in employment and its impact on poverty and inequality, mainly in middle income countries. The core of the seminar’s discussions then centered on the link between growth, employment outcomes and inequality in three of the OECD enhanced engagement countries: Brazil, China and India. The seminar ended with a short wrap-up and concluding session.
