be found below, the message of Secretary General United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, on the occasion of International Day for the Eradication of Poverty , Oct. 17:
this year to mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the focus is on decent work, employment worthy of the name and small businesses that are a source of income .
Develop decent and productive is the best way to fight against poverty and promote self-sufficiency.
But in today's world, more than half of those working in precarious jobs. Their conditions of employment are not formally established and they do not benefit from social security, and often they earn too little to support their families, let alone to find ways to improve their economic situation. The global economic crisis has plunged about 64 million people in poverty and the number of unemployed has increased by 30 million compared to 2007.
Bridging the gap between poverty and decent work? By investing in economic and social policies that promote job creation by promoting decent working conditions and strengthening social protection systems. Access to education, health care and vocational training is also essential.
We must focus especially on youth employment. Young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults. Last year, the number of unemployed youth has reached a record $ 81 million. Give these kids a decent job is a the best ways to make them point to a future of hope.
At the World Summit on the Millennium Development held last month in New York, world leaders agreed on a program of action to intensify the fight against poverty. Despite encouraging progress in many parts of the world, hundreds of millions of people still live in appalling conditions, deprived of basic services. To change things, to overcome poverty, strengthen economies and build peaceful and stable societies it is imperative to overcome the unemployment crisis that exists worldwide.
economic uncertainty and widespread fiscal austerity should not be an excuse to do less. Instead, these are reasons to do more.
On this International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, poor listening and looking at ways to ensure that more people can work, and work in good conditions.
Let us that, worldwide, everyone can have a decent job. Source
