WHY WE EXIST

We are at the heart of the global dialogue on work, employment and livelihoods — providing expert analysis, labour market data, policy recommendations and real-world solutions.

WHAT WE DO

Just jobs open doors to educational and economic opportunities for individuals and families. They empower communities and promote economic growth. They serve as the bedrock for a safer, fairer, and more prosperous world for all.

Access to just jobs often hinges on factors such as place of birth, race, gender, ethnicity, age, class, and other variables. Our work is expansive because we must address labor market issues that stem from complex, systemic inequities.

There is a widening chasm between education, training, and employment in India. At the same time that India’s youth population relative to its smaller dependent population offers the prospect of driving productivity, it also poses a formidable challenge. Providing quality education, training, and employment to this heterogenous youth cohort of 363 million is a demanding task – one that we have been failing at.

Doubling the number of apprentices from 500,000 to 1,000,000 per year, and setting an initial target of 10 million apprentices in ten years, is not just a desirable goal, but an achievable one.

Iran and Mongolia are the two countries to have had a universal basic income program in place, according to the World Bank.
