Int. policy focus is needed to prevent a longer-lasting setback for decent work globally.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

The Middle East crisis is increasingly affecting jobs, working conditions & incomes far beyond the region, as higher energy costs, disrupted transport routes, supply chain pressure, weaker tourism & migration constraints weigh on global labour markets.
