Following the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions and the cost of living crisis, the situation in the world of work continues to be characterized by uncertainty and complexity. At the same time, there are considerable disparities between advanced and developing economies, along with marked differences between certain groups, such as youth and women. Conflict and catastrophic events are triggered by a variety of factors and can impact differently on societies, but one way or another they all undermine peoples' livelihoods and create decent work deficits. Left unattended, these problems can lead to increased poverty, inequality and social unrest. Furthermore, unemployment and decent work deficits can themselves be key contributing factors to conflict. This course, organized in collaboration with the ILO's Employment Policy Department, will provide an in-depth understanding of the impact of conflict, disasters and crises on the labour market, with the measurement approaches and diagnostics the impacts of crisis, as well as how employment policies can link humanitarian responses to longer-term recovery.
