Employment and Livelihoods

The SED looks at growth strategies for industrial and services sector development, improving the quality and conditions of informal work, such as domestic and home-based work, waste work, construction, gig and platform work, and nano-and-small-enterprises.

This work focuses on:

• Inclusive, employment-intensive urban development pathways.
• Integration of urban development with economic and industrial planning.
• The future of work and workers on digital platforms.
• Improving the quality of informal work through social and economic infrastructure.
