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.

Transforming the international refugee regime & framing the Humanitarian Development & Peace Nexus
The first episode in the series provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving dynamics of forced displacement and their implications for labour markets and development policy in host countries. Professor Zetter outlines key trends, including the increasingly protracted nature of refugee situations, the shift from camps to urban settlements, and the increasing importance of labour market access.
The discussion highlights how the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus and initiatives such as the PROSPECTS partnership can foster more coherent, inclusive, and sustainable responses, positioning refugees not only as beneficiaries of assistance, but also as active contributors to economic and social development.
