ILO Activities
The Tripartite Meeting on Lifelong Learning in the Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering Industries was held in Geneva from 23 to 27 September 2002.
The above issues raise opportunities and challenges for ILO advisory services
and related research and technical cooperation in the field, as many governments
and their social partners need to formulate, evaluate, and redefine both general
and sectoral policies on trade, investment, employment, and human resource development.
Another promising area for ILO work in the field -- especially in Latin America
and Asia -- is in the promotion of and participation in sectoral fora for bipartite
and tripartite consultations on productivity-wage bargaining, training and related
issues.
 A
Tripartite Meeting on the Impact of Flexible
Labour Market Arrangements in the Machinery, Electrical and Electronic Industries
was held at the International Labour Office in Geneva from 26-30 October 1998.
A background report for the discussion was prepared entitled: Tripartite
Meeting on the Impact of Flexible Labour Market Arrangements in the Machinery,
Electrical and Electronic Industries (Geneva, ILO, 1998), as well as
a Note on the proceedings
(Geneva, ILO, 1999). In addition, a statistical background paper by M. Dessing
and O. Mutter: The machinery, electrical and electronic industries in numbers
(For discussion regarding the establishment of a database) is available upon

and Employment Seminar on: "Effects and Lessons of Internal Flexibility on Employment,
