ITC/ILO online course
Economic Policies for Inclusive Job-Rich Growth
This course, devised by the Employment Policy and Analysis Programme of the International Training Centre of the ILO in partnership with the ILO Employment Policy, Job Creation and Livelihoods Department, will equip participants with the insights and tools necessary for crafting strategies that respond to complex global challenges – inflation, supply chain constraints, rising economic divide between higher and lower income countries, job gap rates, among others – and with a robust understanding of how to foster economic resilience and job-rich growth.
Who attends this course?
The course is of particular interest to policy-makers, planners, technical officials of relevant ministries, and other technical experts from relevant institutions with basic economic understanding of economic principles. In particular, the course caters for policy advisors and practitioners from ministries of labour and employment, finance, economy and planning, sectoral ministries, central banks, social partners, researchers and policy analysts from international, regional and national organisations, academia and donor organisations who are seeking an advanced training on economic policies. A gender-balanced participation is sought.
Course Objectives
The course aims to strengthen the capacities of policymakers and social partners in the design and implementation of macroeconomic, sectoral and labour market policies and strategies to foster a robust and inclusive growth from unfolding crises while investing in longer-term structural transformation processes required to meet the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.
Moreover, the course aims at providing a comprehensive hands-on overview of analytical tools and the policy instruments that support policy makers, analysts and practitioners through a better understanding on how fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate/debt policies, frame sectoral strategies, and structural transformation processes and economic diversification, and how they impact on productive employment creation, in particular on women and youth.
