CARIBBEAN-LABOUR- Regional labour ministers meet in the midst of employment concerns

Jul 02, 2013

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Caribbean labour ministers meet here on Tuesday in the midst of regional concern that tentative economic growth is not being accompanied by increasing employment opportunities.
The recently-released International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Global Employment Trends report registers gloomy results for the wider Latin American and Caribbean region with slowdowns in economic growth, employment creation and labour productivity. 
The labour ministers meeting will hear perspectives from ILO Director General, Guy Ryder, who only last month tabled a report pointing to the impacts of global demographic change, environmental sustainability, new technologies, poverty and prosperity, growing inequality, balanced and sustainable economic growth and the changing character of production and employment.
