Decent work matters in crisis. It is a powerful, tested rope that pulls people and societies out of crises and sets them on a sustainable development path. Decent and stable jobs offer crisis-affected people not only income, but also freedom, security, dignity, self-esteem, hope, and a stake in the reconciliation and reconstruction of their communities.
The Greek etymology of the word “crisis” suggests a decision, a turning point. The ILO responds to this concept comprehensively. Its crisis response programme seeks to reduce the dangers for crisis victims – of poverty, marginalization, and conflict – while promoting opportunities for employment, reconciliation, and development.
ILO crisis response is involved in four types of emergencies and pursues three pillars of work, though the programme’s units play different roles in each.
