Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg will 13 September host a high-level conference on the international situation in the labour market, where millions of people are unemployed as a result of the global economic crisis. The conference is a joint event by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The conference will bring together both politicians and experts to explore new ways of forging a sustainable, job-rich recovery from the global economic crisis. The conference “The Challenges of Growth, Employment and Social Cohesion” will be chaired by ILO Director General Juan Somavia and IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
