Investing in youth #skills drives growth, innovation, & economic resilience. As #AI and other tech transform labour markets, we must equip young people with the skills needed for work & life. This means the skills employers need and the ability to navigate uncertainty & change.

The future of work will not be determined by technology alone, but by the policies, institutions and social dialogue that guide it. In uncertain times, we need a strategic decent work agenda, built around rights, employment & skills, social protection & social dialogue. #ILC2026

Our new report on the impact of the crisis in the Middle East on labour markets shows that beyond the human toll, jobs, working conditions and incomes are affected far beyond the region. Int. policy focus is needed to prevent a longer-lasting setback for decent work globally.

Safe and healthy working environments are a fundamental principle and right at work. But they do not happen by chance. When work is designed with reasonable demands, adequate support, opportunities for participation and respect for dignity, it benefits everyone. #SafeDay
