Unlike the challenge of sustaining global economic growth or that of correcting global trade imbalances, this global employment challenge is barely recognized and its nature and magnitude are certainly not well understood. Indeed, there is a widespread (though rarely stated) belief that even in an era of globalization employment remains a national concern, so that there can be no such thing as a global employment challenge. Yet the employment challenge today is global in several important respects. Inadequate availability of productive jobs is now a worldwide phenomenon. Global forces – cross-border flows of trade, capital and labour – have significant con - sequences for employment in individual countries. Also, international policies are now as important as national policies for expanding opportunities for productive employment in less developed countries, which is where most of the world’s workers live and where almost all of the world’s new workers will live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study is about the nature and magnitude of the global employment challenge and about ways of meeting that challenge. It seeks to provide (i) an assessment of the current state of employment in the world, (ii) a review of the developments since 1990, (iii) an analysis of the interactions among structural factors, global forces and national policies that explain those developments, and (iv) a perspective on the policy responses required from the international community and national governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe International Labour Organization : \u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eThe International Labour Organization was founded in 1919 to promote social justice and, thereby, to contribute to universal and lasting peace.
