Abstract
This report presents an overview of
general findings from International Labor Office (ILO) and
World Bank (WB) database. The report only uses a fraction of
this large and rich database and is an invitation for
researchers and practitioners to use the data for more
in-depth research, which can be helpful for policy makers in
identifying effective approaches to maintain and promote
employment, while protecting living standards during times
of crisis. The goal of this report is to take stock of
policy responses during the recent economic and financial
crisis and suggest areas where policy-makers should focus to
improve their capacity to respond to future shocks. The
report has following sections: section one gives
introduction. Section two begins with an overview of
macroeconomic and sector policies. Section three presents
analysis of labor market policies to promote labor demand.
Section four presents programs to facilitate job matching
and preserve skills. Section five is social protection.
Section six is minimum wages. Section seven is social
dialogue. Section 8 is international labor standards. The
last section summarizes key findings and proposes an agenda
for future work.
