The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development will launch the first annual Global Labor Market Conference (GLMC) on December 13 - 14, 2023, with the aim of advancing labor market resiliency for all stakeholders.
The conference aims to monitor the current market situation, foster collaborative efforts to enhance it, and bring together a diverse group of stakeholders including government officials, experts, innovators, business and labor leaders, academics, non-governmental organizations, as well as U.N. and other multinational institutions to address these critical issues.
