Presentación de un libro: “Investing in Skills for Inclusive Trade”
El 4 de julio se presentará en la OMC la publicación conjunta de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) y la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) titulada “Investing in Skills for Inclusive Trade”. La publicación, que está basada en la colaboración anterior entre la OMC y la OIT, se centra en los vínculos entre el comercio y las aptitudes y entre el comercio y las políticas de desarrollo de aptitudes.
The publication argues that in the fast-changing context of globalization, where technology and trade relations evolve rapidly, the responsiveness of skills supply to demand is particularly important. Drawing on the findings from relevant literature and from the ILO’s Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) programme, this publication shows that appropriate skills development policies are key to helping firms participate in trade, and also to helping workers find good jobs.
