Eradicating poverty beyond growth: A global roadmap for a new economy

Welcoming remarks and keynote address

ILO Headquarters

This roundtable will revisit dominant approaches to poverty eradication and examine how welfare systems and labour markets can be reoriented to tackle structural inequalities and achieve social progress while reducing dependence on economic growth. The discussion will consider how economies can tackle the mismatch between what sustains society and what labour markets reward, with a focus on the undervaluation of care work and better rewarding work of high value. It will explore how economies operating within planetary boundaries can finance public services and social protection systems while generating decent livelihoods in socially and ecologically valuable sectors, with fair and living wages.&nbsp;

Rethinking the fight against poverty and inequalities: The future of work and social protection

Post-growth as a decolonial project

This session will explore the governance, policy, and institutional frameworks needed to steer the transition toward a new development model that moves beyond dependence on economic growth.&nbsp;

Governing the transition  

This session will explore how post-growth and wellbeing-centred approaches can shape the transition from the current Sustainable Development Goals to the post-2030 global development framework, highlighting concrete avenues, such as the social and solidarity economy, to accelerate momentum for change.&nbsp;

Creating the momentum: Post-growth and the 2030 development goals

This closing roundtable will reflect on the key insights from the day and look ahead to the political, social and institutional shifts required to translate the Roadmap into action.&nbsp;
