Il rapporto dell’ILO (International Labour Office), presenta una previsione di peggioramento dei livelli globali di disoccupazione e prende in esame i fattori di questa tendenza, come la persistenza della disuguaglianza e la diminuzione delle quote salariali. Analizza i motori della classe media in ascesa nel mondo sviluppato, nonché i rischi di conflitti sociali, in particolare in aree di elevata disoccupazione giovanile. Il rapporto espone i fattori caratterizzanti del mondo del lavoro, compresi l’invecchiamento della popolazione e il cambiamento nelle qualifiche richieste dai datori di lavoro. Secondo il rapporto, i giovani lavoratori tra i 15 e i 24 anni sono quelli maggiormente colpiti dalla crisi, con un tasso di disoccupazione globale di quasi il 13 per cento nel 2014 e un ulteriore incremento previsto per i prossimi anni.

Abstract/Sommario: The world economy continues to grow at a disappointing pace, and over 2016 and 2017 it is projected to continue growing well below the levels achieved prior to the onset of the crisis. As a result, global unemployment is expected to increase by nearly 2.3 million in 2016, and by a further 1.1 million in 2017. As in 2015, most of this increase will take place in emerging markets. Job quality is also deteriorating.

As a result, global unemployment is expected to increase by nearly 2.3 million in 2016, and by a further 1.1 million in 2017. As in 2015, most of this increase will take place in emerging markets. Job quality is also deteriorating. While there has been a decrease in vulnerable employment and working poverty rates, vulnerable employment still accounts for over 46 per cent of total employment globally, affecting nearly 1.5 billion people. The World Employment and Social Outlook – Trends 2016 provides a global overview of these worrying trends, and presents unemployment projections until 2017 by income and regional groups, as well as projections on several dimensions of job quality until 2020. It also examines the major challenges these trends pose in achieving the newly adopted Sustainable Development Agenda.

The report emphasizes that while employment has begun to recover slowly, job quality is deteriorating and there is a growing sense of unfairness. Moreover, given the pressure on governments to rein in expenditure, policy efforts have focused on structural reforms to boost employment creation. However, if policy instruments are not carefully designed, they could exacerbate the employment situation and aggravate further equity concerns, with potentially long-lasting adverse consequences for both the economy and society.

It also projects employment trends and assesses the risk of social unrest. The report points to an uneven employment picture, with emerging and developing economies performing better than the majority of advanced economies. Income inequalities continue to widen in advanced economies and although they have stabilized somewhat in large emerging and developing countries, they remain acute and progress in this area is still fragile. The report analyses these trends and discusses the conditions necessary for putting job creation at the heart of policy making.

Abstract/Sommario: Trade liberalization, together with investment in infrastructure and education, have long been regarded as the key drivers of economic development. However, this approach has failed to address the vulnerable economic growth patterns typically found in many developing countries, rising youth unemployment, including among graduates, and widening income inequalities.

However, this approach has failed to address the vulnerable economic growth patterns typically found in many developing countries, rising youth unemployment, including among graduates, and widening income inequalities. This report assembles new evidence based on a detailed examination of trends and policy innovations in over 140 developing countries. It finds that strategies which focus on promoting decent work opportunities tend to yield sustained development results. Few countries that improve economic growth without a corresponding increase in quality jobs manage to sustain healthy economic performance. By contrast, economic growth that goes hand-inhand with improved decent work outcomes is generally found to be sustainable.

Following chapters on understanding disability and measuring disability, the report contains topic-specific chapters on health; rehabilitation; assistance and support; enabling environments; education; and employment. Within each chapter, there is a discussion of the barriers confronted, and case studies showing how countries have succeeded in addressing these by promoting good practice. In its final chapter, the report offers nine concrete recommendations for policy and practice which if put in place could lead to real improvements in the lives of people with disability.

La prima relazione sulla disabilità realizzata della Banca Mondiale dell’OMS sottolinea la situazione delle persone disabili nel mondo. Ad alcuni capitoli dedicati alla comprensione e alla valutazione della disabilità, ne seguono altri di approfondimento su specifiche materie: salute; riabilitazione; assistenza e supporto; ambienti favorevoli; educazione e impiego. In ciascun capitolo troviamo una discussione sulle barriere rilevate e studi di caso che rilevano come i vari paesi siano riusciti ad affrontare tali problematiche promuovendo buone pratiche. Nel capitolo finale, la relazione offre nove raccomandazioni concrete per le politiche e le azioni che, se messe in atto, potrebbero realmente migliorare la vita delle persone con disabilità.
