Summary:

This publication discusses some of the issues that countries in Southeast Asia are facing in regard to boosting local employment and skills development while advancing social protection strategies in emerging, fast-growing labor markets. A joint OECD/ILO initiative, this book analyzes local approaches in Asia to modernize labor markets and skills strategies and shows how local recovery is taking place through a combination of policy measures on employment creation, skills development and social protection.--Publisher's description.
