Article 4 - Providing end-to-end solutions for informal sector workers through the LabourNet initiative in India - Meena Jain, LabourNet / Loveleen De, ILO

LabourNet was started as an initiative to provide a one-stop platform for informal economy workers to access services which are available for the formal sector. It offers end-to-end solutions for the unskilled or low-skilled labour force through their 4E model of "Empowerment through Education, Employability and Employment". LabourNet provides skill assessment and training, followed by a certification. It facilitates work linkages between employers and job-seekers, and helps unorganized workers access health and accident insurance and social security schemes. It also assists unorganised workers to open bank accounts, with the aim of empowering beneficiaries and enabling them to contribute to their own well-being.

LabourNet provides training and facilitates employment for many economic sectors including construction, health and beauty, electrician and carpentry, customer service and sales. An assessment is conducted to give each beneficiary a trade skill rating. The vocational training courses are based on industry requirements and bestow a certification on successful completion. Training is done onsite or at livelihood centres. LabourNet helps connect to employers for internships, apprenticeships or contracts, and also provides assistance for enterprise building.

Article 6 - Promoting sustainable rural development through Bolsa Verde in Brazil - Clara, ILO / Silvia di Gaetano, ILO

The Brazilian economy has grown very fast over the last few decades and this has led to important advances in terms of social and economic development. Nevertheless, the country has been facing environmental challenges given the speed of its urbanization, its raising population and the exploitation of natural resources. This context has made it all the more necessary to guarantee government policies that are suitably adapted from the point of view of economic efficiency, environmental integrity and social equality. 

The Bolsa Verde Programme started as part of “Brasil sem Miséria”, meant by the Federal Government to raise the income and living conditions of the population. It is an income transfer programme for environmental conservation which uses the concept of payment for environmental services while recognizing the economic value of the protection of ecosystems.
