Decent work for domestic workers - ILO and SM Cinema
25 December 2011
A public service message of the ILO Country Office for the Philippines in partnership with SM Cinema, the largest cinema exhibitor in the Philippines, highlights domestic workers as workers with rights like others and that decent and productive work starts at home. The 30-second message was featured in 38 digital theatres of SM Cinema nationwide. Seen through the eyes of a child, the message featured two domestic workers as they provide support and care for families, but not within the same working and living conditions. The message supports the Philippines in its commitment to protect the welfare of domestic workers.

Video: Building a Sustainable Future with Decent Work in Asia and the Pacific
04 December 2011
Economically, the Asia-Pacific region has performed impressively in recent years. But the austerity measures in Europe and contracting consumer markets in the United States – Asia’s two largest export markets - are threatening the region’s continued growth. Growing unrest among the region’s massive, under-employed youth population and persisting unfair distribution of economic gains are challenges that must also be addressed. The ILO and its constituents in government, employer and worker organizations are trying to find a common approach that benefits all.

Video: Coordinated Macroeconomic, Employment and Social Protection Policies in Asia and the Pacific
04 December 2011
A post-crisis, macroeconomic framework that supports more inclusive and balanced growth requires a renewed commitment to full employment as a core macroeconomic policy goal. Trade and investment policies can work together with tax and social protection systems to support employment, and ensure that the benefits of growth and productivity are shared more widely. Some of the ways forward are the creation of a basic social protection floor and public employment guarantee schemes targeting the unemployed and working poor.

Video: Productive Employment, Sustainable Enterprises and Skills Development in Asia and the Pacific
04 December 2011
Even before the current series of economic and jobs crises the quality of jobs being generated was a cause for concern. Unless this issue is addressed it will not be possible to rebalance growth in the region effectively. Non-standard and informal employment, offering low pay and poor working conditions, have grown steadily and are contributing to growing inequalities in incomes. Closer attention is needed to reducing poverty, creating productive employment and social and economic mobility, with particular attention given to the needs of young people. The formal economy can be expanded in low and middle income economies in the region, and an enabling environment with support for sustainable enterprises is possible. Increasing investment in human resources and improving working conditions with and through engagement of the social partners can play an important role in this process.
