// ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SECURITY: LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
Building resilience through fair
A s we approach the Second World Summit for Social Development in November of this year, our col- lective commitment to decent work through a renewed social contract is being sorely tested. Geopolitical conflicts and environmental, demographic and technological upheavals, both immediate and long term, along with an increas- ing disenchantment with domestic and international institutions, threaten to undermine the progress we have made since the first WSSD in 1995. That is why, arm in arm with the recently launched Global Coalition for Social Justice, we must recommit ourselves to reinforcing the positive developments the world has witnessed since 1995, and to chart the steps for fur- ther advances for social justice. Working jointly, we can renew and reinvigorate the call for social justice by identifying suc- cesses, challenges and mechanisms to move forward.
and inclusive employment
Through evidence-based policies that combine fair wages, access to education and training, and inclusive social dialogue, leaders can ensure full, productive employment that delivers dignity and economic security
