The ILO Decent Work Team and Office for the Caribbean is organizing a series of virtual roundtables on world of work issues emerging as a result of COVID-19. As the pandemic provokes global tremors to the employment landscape, it is important to explore and address the status and progress in the Caribbean.

On a bi-weekly basis the ILO Office for the Caribbean will host topical and thematic virtual roundtables that are open to the public. Participants will include representatives from governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations, media, academia, as well as members of the general public who are interested in the topics.

These virtual roundtables will be 1.5 hours long and take place every other Tuesday at 11.00 am Eastern Caribbean Time (ECT), unless specified differently. They will be conducted via Zoom and participants will need to pre-register to receive an invitation to attend.

The series of virtual roundtables seeks to:

• Disseminate and present measures implemented in the region to address the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to discuss policy options for economic and social recovery in the medium and long term.
• Share information on good practices and measures adopted by different countries.
• Provide mechanisms for social dialogue, consultation and connection between social partners and initiate debate around intervention frameworks that safeguard decent work opportunities in the region
