Panellists will discuss the following topics:
What model of society – what space for solidarity, dialogue, cooperation, notions of justice?
Sustainable enterprises as the engine of jobs and growth: large, small, medium and micro – private/public? What are the priorities?
Should employment and income inequality concerns move to the core of policy strategies, including in countries most hit by the crisis, and how could the ILO help in that respect?
What should be the nature of action by the State – social protection, labour markets, moving from informality to formality and so forth?
