Economic development and employment

Key topics

Economic growth occurs when many people participate in shaping change. We strengthen vocational education and training, fair employment, financial systems and political framework conditions – in a socially just and environmentally viable way.

Our skills and expertise

  • Improving framework conditions

    We advise policymakers, administrations and central banks on reforms that are favourable to the economy and employment.

  • Increasing opportunities for work

    We promote needs-based training and strong job placement systems, and build bridges between employment and training.

  • Strengthening financial systems

    We improve access to fair financial services and support stable, regulated financial markets.

  • Activating potential

    We connect the economy and society: for inclusive growth, social participation and long-term prospects.
