This paper was prepared under the joint ILO-UNDP program on ‘Promoting Employment for Poverty Reduction,' October 2005. From the Introduction
"The present paper attempts to identify multiple pathways through which an
employment-focussed development strategy can contribute towards speedier
achievement of the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In view of the
importance of employment as a route out of poverty, the author explores the analytics
of these pathways, theorising appropriate employment strategies as part of overall
strategies for achieving individual MDGs, based on supporting evidence and trends
from various countries."
