The International Labour Organisation's World Employment and Social Outlook examines recent trends in employment growth, the impact of global uncertainties and policy measures to support workers and enterprises in Asia and the Pacific. The May update reveals a moderate deterioration in the employment outlook that is being driven by, among others, geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions. It highlights that as workers and enterprises face heightened risks of disruption, efforts to improve worker and enterprise resilience by expanding and diversifying markets, improving social protection schemes and bolstering active labour market policies, such as reskilling opportunities in in-demand occupations, among others, will be needed.
