Business for decent work

Thematic forum
The private sector has a crucial role to play in shaping the work of the future. It is an engine of growth that creates decent jobs. Its influence on economic and social development, respect for the environment and efficiently and effectively managing resources represents an important contribution to the well-being of communities. Yet more can be done to shape business incentives in support of a human-centred growth model. This session will examine the contribution of the private sector to full and productive employment and decent work. It will also discuss those measures that might best encourage the development of sustainable enterprises.
