🪁 Small children, big opportunities: new childcare groups in Odesa, #Ukraine are helping parents return to work while creating jobs for childcare professionals, including IDPs.

ℹ️ The #ILO launched the initiative with support from Sida 🇸🇪.

No debate. Labour rights are human rights. ✊

From fair wages to safe workplaces, these are not privileges—they are fundamental rights.

This #LabourDay, the focus isn’t just on work. It’s on dignity, protection and justice for every worker, everywhere.

Yesterday in Pidhorodne, we opened the first of 39 childcare facilities across 7 frontline oblasts—supporting women entrepreneurs while expanding affordable, quality childcare.

By investing in women and early childcare, we’re building an inclusive, resilient labour market.

As Ukraine continues to navigate the consequences of large-scale displacement and shifting labour migration patterns, strengthening the State Labour Service remains critical. Timely training on OSINT in Bratislava https://t.co/FuYYrj4Bsv

Today I met with representatives from Ukraine and ILO to discuss the upcoming "Competitiveness for Recovery Ukraine 2026–2030". ILO will implement one pillar of the programme which will strengthen labour market conditions and governance.

On #IWD2026, the @ILO highlights a simple truth: social health protection must put gender equality at its core.

Despite legal guarantees, women face barriers to essential care due to unpaid care work, informal employment and lower wages.

👉New brief: https://t.co/lPXKLLDRvO

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

Equal access to healthcare on paper doesn’t always mean equal access in practice.

Labour market inequalities still leave many women behind.

A new @ilo brief shows why social protection and health policies must put gender equality at the centre: https://t.co/dPMSsTXWyf

138 million children are still denied their childhood.

Prevention, decent work, education, social protection and solidarity must drive action to #EndChildLabour.

#Gaza: "On 2 February, WHO & partners supported the medical evacuation of five patients & seven companions to Egypt via the Rafah crossing.

More than 18,500 patients still require specialised medical care.

We need more countries to step up & help." @WHO

What lies ahead for the labour market in 2026?

At first glance, it looks resilient.

But look closer: progress in job quality has slowed sharply, with working poverty and informality still widespread.
