Joint ILO-World Bank Course on Promoting Job Quality and Productive Employment in the Middle East & North Africa
In October 2010, the World Bank and the ILO held this joint course with the main objective to support the adoption of more effective and inclusive labor market and employment policies, taking into consideration of how these may apply or be adjusted to rapidly changing labor market realities in the region. In response to the vulnerability caused by widespread low-quality informal employment, the featured topic of the course was informality and the job quality challenge.
