The total cost of implementation is estimated at over US$23 million. Funding, in addition to government sources, will be sought from international donors and the private sector, to assist the Government of Lebanon in putting the Plan into action.
(...) According the ILO’s latest estimates, the number of child labourers globally has dropped by one-third to 168 million since 2010 but the improved rate of decline is not enough to achieve the goal of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016.
There are 9.2 million child labourers in the Middle East and North Africa, trapped by factors such as poverty, widespread adult unemployment and the poor quality of education leading to early dropouts.

Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions
In addition to claiming more than 6.3 million lives, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented loss of jobs and livelihoods. (...) A Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection is needed to channel national and international, public and private investments into social protection for the four billion people who fall outside any existing coverage and to create at least 400 million decent jobs, above all in the green and care economies."
ILO Director-General Guy Ryder
In September 2021, the United Nations Secretary-General launched the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions, with the ambition of bringing together member States, international financial institutions, social partners, civil society and the private sector to help countries create 400 million decent jobs, including in the green, digital and care economies, and to extend social protection coverage to the 4 billion people currently excluded.

GENEVA (ILO News) – The COVID-19 crisis is expected to wipe out 6.7 per cent of working hours globally in the second quarter of 2020 – equivalent to 195 million full-time workers.
Large reductions are foreseen in the Arab States (8.1 per cent, equivalent to 5 million full-time workers), Europe (7.8 per cent, or 12 million full-time workers) and Asia and the Pacific (7.2 per cent, 125 million full-time workers).
Huge losses are expected across different income groups but especially in upper-middle income countries (7.0 per cent, 100 million full-time workers). This far exceeds the effects of the 2008-9 financial crisis.
(...) There is a high risk that the end-of-year figure will be significantly higher than the initial ILO projection, of 25 million.
Workers and businesses are facing catastrophe, in both developed and developing economies...

There are an estimated 232 million migrants worldwide and their numbers are growing. (...) Given the current state of the world economy and its prospects for the future – with global unemployment expected to rise from the current 202 million to over 208 million by 2015 – migration flows are likely increase and become more complex.
