Executive Summary and Policy Recommendations
[full-text, 13 pages]
The purpose of this report on Kenya, published under the series Studies on Growth with Equity, is to show how such policy complementarities can be achieved. Given the complementarities between macroeconomic policy on the one hand and employment and social policy on the other, the International Institute for Labour Studies (IILS) has joined forces with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). The report is an outcome of a joint project of the French Ministry of Labour, Employment, Vocational Training and Social Dialogue and the IILS of the ILO.
