Economic development and employment

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.

Fair labour migration

Well-managed migration can reduce the burden on labour markets and promote development. We create safe pathways and fair conditions – for countries of origin and destination.
