EMPINVEST
Employment in Investments Branch
Creating more and better jobs is essential for inclusive and sustainable economic growth. EMPINVEST mainstreams employment and decent work into investments, trade and sectoral strategies from policies to the operational programmatic level. We support governments, social partners, development partners and international financial institutions to:
- ensure that measures of quantity and quality of jobs are embedded in in trade and investment policies and projects;
- promote employment-intensive investments, particularly in infrastructure, supporting job creation and contributing to economic development, social inclusion and environmental sustainability;
- support the transitions towards formal employment and to a greener economy through structural transformation in selected sectors which are crucial for economic stability and shared prosperity.
