Social Security for Migrant Workers - A rights-based approach
23 November 2011
In an increasingly globalizing world, the estimated number of migrant workers worldwide swelled to 105 million in 2010. The dynamic nature of global labour markets requires that national social security systems take necessary steps to ensure migrant workers’ rights to social security through effective international coordination. This publication is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide for the international coordination of social security, covering both basic principles and practical aspects. This publication is closely related to a series of training modules published by the ILO in 2010 dealing with the coordination of social security.

Youth Employment Action Plan 2010-2013
17 November 2011
Over the last several years, growing political attention has been given to youth employment in Albania, where the difficulties young people face in entering and remaining in the labour market are compounded by the additional burden of large numbers of young people who are engaged in the informal economy. Youth unemployment, underemployment and informality impose heavy costs on Albania. Long unemployment spells early in life and extended periods in the informal economy affect the prospects of young people to secure a career job and a decent wage. High percentages of unemployed youth mean that investments in education and training are wasted, that there is a reduced taxation base and higher welfare costs.

ILO-IPEC steps to eliminate the worst forms of child labour in Kosovo
17 November 2011
Poverty, barriers to education (accessibility, affordability, quality, relevance) and tolerant attitudes to child labour push a high number of children to enter child labour as early as 10 years old. In addition, due to a temporary “value vacuum”, family and community values have broken down and consequently increased the vulnerability of children. The streets have become the main place for the socialization of many children due to lack of proper supervision and care.
