Background

The International Labour Organization (ILO) Office for the Caribbean is pleased to host a virtual presentation and panel discussion of recent research on Labour markets and resilience in the Caribbean. The research is part of on-going collaboration with the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies (SALISES), The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus; and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and is financed within the framework of the ILO’s Caribbean Resilience Project.

In this virtual event, three regional and international researchers who were successful in bidding for the ILO’s research grant, will present the key findings of their research and participate in a moderated discussion with ILO, UWI and IDB officials. Contributions and questions from the public are encouraged.

The final research will be shared at the 21st Annual Conference of the SALISES, carded for later this year.
