International trade is widely viewed as an engine of growth and carries implications for the hundreds of millions of workers whose livelihoods rely on trade-oriented industries.

Undoubtedly, it has generated job opportunities, including for young people and women, helping to lift millions out of poverty. At the same time, the benefits of trade have not been distributed evenly, across countries, sectors, firms or workers.

This volume, the first of a two-volume set, develops and executes a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of trade on the labour market, using decent work indicators applied to commonly used methodologies.

It also highlights the role of labour market policies and programmes, including ILO interventions, to ensure that trade contributes to - rather than hampers - decent work.
