why skilled labor is more productive
Answers
Answer:
Higher levels of educational attainment lead to a more skilled and productive workforce, producing more efficiently a higher standard of goods and services, which in turn forms the basis for faster economic growth and rising living standards.
Answer:
How many women and men are in employment and how productive they are at work
has a lot do to with the available opportunities to acquire and maintain relevant skills.
Countries, enterprises and persons all perceive skills development as strategic, and
consequently seek to step up investments in skills. In aspiring to realize the potential of
skills development, they face common challenges.
In Pittsburgh in September 2009, G20 Leaders called for putting quality jobs at
the heart of the recovery, and committed to implementing recovery plans that support
decent work, help preserve employment and prioritize job growth. To that effect they
welcomed the ILO’s Global Jobs Pact and agreed on the importance of building an
employment-oriented framework for future economic growth.
Leaders adopted a framework for strong, sustainable and balanced growth as the
instrument for their cooperative action. They acknowledged the role of skills development in that framework, stating that “each of our countries will need, through its own
national policies, to strengthen the ability of our workers to adapt to changing market
demands and to benefit from innovation and investments in new technologies, clean
energy, environment, health and infrastructure.”
They asked the ILO, in partnership with other organizations, and with employers
and workers, to develop a training strategy for their consideration.
The ILO prepared such a strategy which was submitted to, and welcomed by, the
Leaders at their Summit in Toronto, in June 2010. In Seoul, in November 2010, Leaders
pledged to continue to support national strategies for skills development, building on
the G20 Training Strategy.
In preparing this strategy, the ILO worked closely with employers and workers
whom it consulted widely. It drew on the Conclusions on skills for improved productivity, employment growth and development adopted by the International Labour Conference in June 2008.
The ILO interacted extensively with international, regional and national organizations and institutions. The strategy benefitted from intensive collaboration with and
inputs from the OECD. Experts from many international, regional and national agencies
generously shared their views, experience and findings; notably from the Asia Development Bank, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Working Group on Human
Resource Development, the European Training Foundation, the EU Expert Group on
New Skills for New Jobs, UNESCO, the World Bank; as well as the ILO’s International
Training Centre in Turin and the Inter-American Centre for Knowledge Development in
Vocational Training (ILO/Cinterfor). The Inter-Agency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training has also been mobilized in the exercise.
