World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2025


The ILO Director-General, Gilbert F. Houngbo, stressed the urgent need for action. “Decent work and productive employment are essential for achieving social justice and the Sustainable Development Goals. To avoid exacerbating already strained social cohesion, escalating climate impacts, and surging debt, we must act now to tackle labour market challenges and create a fairer, more sustainable future,” he said.

The report makes some recommendations to address current challenges:

  • Boost productivity: invest in skills training, education and infrastructure to support economic growth and job creation.
  • Expand social protection: provide better access to social security and safe working conditions to reduce inequality.
  • Use private funds effectively: low-income countries can harness remittances and diaspora funds to support local development.
