Is trade good or bad for jobs? For years, ILO research has shown how international trade can be an engine of growth and creating decent jobs. But things are changing. The realities of trade and investment today are far more complicated than they used to be, and globalization has had an uneven impact. So, does it still mean that trade remains a viable strategy for promoting growth and reducing poverty while creating decent work opportunities men and women? In this podcast, we explore the influence of trade and investment on jobs in today’s world and some policy options with Christophe Ernst, ILO expert on trade and investment.

Innovating refugee response: How the Netherlands built the PROSPECTS Partnership
The third episode of the Refugees at Work series turns to the critical role of donors in advancing inclusive and sustainable responses to forced displacement. Ana Uzelac reflects on how the Netherlands has pioneered new approaches through the PROSPECTS partnership, shifting from short-term humanitarian aid to multi-annual development financing that prioritizes refugee self-reliance and host community resilience. The conversation explores what sets PROSPECTS apart from traditional donor instruments, the added value of joint programming among international organizations, and the legacy such models can leave for policy, practice, and the lives of refugees and their hosts.
