“The ILO was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon decent treatment of working people.”
07 June 2007 - Nearly a century after adopting its first international standard on working time, a new study by the International Labour Office estimates that one in five workers around the world - or over 600 million persons - are still working more than 48 hours a week, often merely to make ends meet.
There is a monthly information bulletin so I checked Australian unemployment for January 2009 (as at December 2008!) and it was 505. Looking at the header I need to add (‘000) so that would make it 505,000. United States data shows 10,999,000.
What I learned that was special:
• The Microinsurance Innovation Facility seeks to increase the availability of quality insurance for the developing world's low-income families to help them guard against risk and overcome poverty. The Facility was launched in 2008 with the support of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
