The International Labour Organization's (ILO) World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2020 (WESO), will be launched by the ILO's Director-General, Guy Ryder, on Monday 20 January. The WESO analyses key labour market issues, including unemployment, under-employment, labour underutilization, working poverty, pay inequality, and factors that exclude people from the world of work. It includes some new projections, as well as revised estimates of the share of labour income going to the world's workforce.
Embargoed electronic copies of the WESO and associated media materials can be made available to journalists upon request from Thursday 16 January, by contacting newsroom@ilo.org
An improved, online Datafinder will also be available, allowing for the interrogation of WESO data by country and theme.
