Employment Impact Assessment: What we know and why it matters

Good employment policies underpin efforts to create more and better jobs, and help reduce inequalities and poverty, and empower people, especially women, young people and the most vulnerable such as people with disabilities. What is more, these polices also help address decent work deficits and are critically important to the realization of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 8, on promoting sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. In this podcast, Juan Chacaltana, ILO Senior Employment Policies Specialist in the Employment Policy Department, and Alina Game, Technical Officer and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) expert, explain how Employment Impact Assessments involving a variety of tools for evidence-based policy development can help achieve these goals.
