Description
This preview for the World of Public Employment Service 2026 publication, to be launched on 9 June at the IDB in Washington, is an opportunity to provide insights on the state of and challenges facing public employment services based on novel findings from a global survey of nearly 80 public employment services. Building on its first edition, the 2026 Volume provides novel and updated insights on development, challenges, and opportunities faced by public employment services worldwide. This preview comes at a crucial moment as public employment services navigate the effects of global trade shifts on labour and communities around the world, discussed throughout the Forum. This preview session will gather the three organisations that have contributed to the report – the IDB, the OECD, and WAPES – to discuss key findings.
