Technical support on employment in Guatemala

This project aims at developing a new National Decent Work Policy based on tripartite consultations. In line with the government’s efforts to improve the conditions for employment creation. The new policy is to fully incorporate the local/territorial perspective. Specifically, the ILO is building the capacities of the tripartite constituents to actively participate in the policy debates, considering their specific interests and needs. The project also includes a knowledge generation component focusing on the impact of trade and wage policies on employment, as an input for the development of employment and economic policy measures in line with the Decent Work Agenda. The project will also build capacity on wage policy management, both at the government level and for workers’ and employers’ organizations, through the National Minimum Wage Council.
