Employment, Inequality and the Future of Work

By Nancy Donaldson, Director of the Washington, D.C. office of the International
 Labor Organization. Republished from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel with permission.
Economic growth in the United States is expected to strengthen in 2016 for a third
year in a row. What does this mean in terms of jobs? The economy is on the mend 
and labor market conditions are continuing to improve. The unemployment rate has
 fallen to 4.9% from its level of 8% in January 2013. At 15.7%, the youth unemployment
rate is still high.

A New Argentina

Voices from street cafes to the corridors of government tell of Argentina's rebirth-one
that is energetically re-engaging the international community and developing plans
to reform its economy so it works for the people of Argentina. Bringing in a new
 era for Argentina will present many challenges for President Macri and his new 
team. That said, the early achievements demonstrate that Argentina is off to a very
good start.

The Tunisian Democratic Experiment Five Years On

On January 16, riots erupted in several Tunisian districts with protesters shouting
for "work, freedom, and dignity;" similar to demands made during the Jasmine Revolution.
The protests commenced after the suicide of a Kasserine youth who had learned that
the Ministry of Education had removed his name from the list of possible hires, 
and continued for four days until authorities implemented a nightly curfew. What
 was most disconcerting to Tunisian authorities was the rate at which the protests
spread across the country, into nearby cities of Sidi Bouzid, Gafsa, and the capital,
Tunis. Now in its fifth year, the Tunisian democratic experiment must include widespread
economic improvements, especially in interior regions, to allay mounting unrest.

European Migrant Crisis: A View from the Nordics

As the European migrant crisis reached new heights last summer, much attention was
given to the stress of countries on Europe's southern flank-in particular Greece,
which has processed the vast majority of incoming refugees from across the Mediterranean.
Subsequently, the conversation was driven by central Europe: on the one hand by 
Germany, which spearheaded the continent's open-door policy, and on the other hand
by Hungary, which has resisted it.
