Policy Priorities for International Trade and Jobs

How does trade affect jobs? The International Collaborative Initiative on Trade and Employment (ICITE) brings together ten international organisations with the aim of improving understanding of the interaction of trade and the labour market, promoting dialogue among stakeholders, and developing policy relevant conclusions. Launched in 2010, the first wave of work under ICITE is nearing completion.

This book presents highlights from the first two years of work, as selected by ICITE partners.
