Africa/Global: Globalisation has not met aspirations, says ILO

Globalization can and must change, says a new, groundbreaking report released by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) urging that building a fair and inclusive globalization become a worldwide priority. A Fair Globalization: Creating Opportunities for All calls for an "urgent rethink" of current policies and institutions of global governance. "There are deep-seated and persistent imbalances in the current workings of the global economy, which are ethically unacceptable and politically unsustainable. Seen through the eyes of the vast majority of men and women, globalization has not met their simple and legitimate aspirations for decent jobs and a better future for their children," says the report.
