【Close】Human Development Report 2015 - Work for Human Development　Public Symposium

JICA Research Institute and UNDP will co-organise a public symposium to celebrate the publication of Human Development Report 2015 - Work for Human Development on Monday 14 March. Mr. Selim Jahan, Director of Human Development Report Office, will deliver a keynote speech on background and contents of the Human Development Report 2015.

"Fast technological progress, deepening globalization, aging societies and environmental challenges are rapidly transforming what work means today and how it is performed. This new world of work presents great opportunities for some, but also profound challenges for others.

The report, titled 'Work for Human Development', calls for equitable and decent work for all. In doing so, it encourages governments to look beyond jobs to consider the many kinds of work, such as unpaid care, voluntary, or creative work that are important for human development. The report suggests that only by taking such a broad view can the benefits of work be truly harnessed for sustainable development."
