Introduction The main objective of this report is
to investigate how countries, from a decent work perspective, can develop their skills base to simultaneously
increase the quantity and productivity of the workforce
employed in the economy. Insufficient education and
skills development traps economies in a vicious cycle
of weak education, low productivity, and low income.
Therefore, the report focuses on analyzing how strategies aimed at developing and enhancing the relevance of
skills training and increasing access to skills for a larger
number of women and men can help countries in turn
transition to a virtuous cycle of higher productivity, employment, income growth, and development. Essential
for improving productivity. Productivity, in turn, is an
important source for improving living standards. Skills
development and growth increase. Other fundamental
factors include macroeconomic policies aimed at maximizing employment growth opportunities for the poor,
an enabling environment for sustainable enterprise development, social dialogue, and basic investments in basic education, health, and physical infrastructure. Effective skills development systems - which link education
to technical training, technical training to labor market
entry, labor market entry to workplace learning and lifelong learning - can help countries sustain productivity
growth and translate that growth into more and better
jobs. This report explores the challenges facing countries
at different levels of development and the policy options
for these countries. In this context, the report seeks to
draw appropriate lessons for least developed countries,
developing countries, and industrialized countries, linking skills development systems not only to current labor
market needs but also to future needs due to changes
in technologies, markets, the environment, and development strategies.

Understanding Productivity
into account the differences in the price
of a uniform group of goods.
1-Productivity is based on a relationship between outputs and factors of
production. It occurs when a rise
in output occurs associated with with
a disproportionately higher factor of
production, or when the same output
is produced by fewer factors of production” (International Labour Office,
2005 a, page 5). Productivity can
also be approached from a critical perspective. If the price charged for an
outcome increases Without an increase
in factor cost, this is also considered
an increase in productivity (e.g. due
to an increase in prices). universal
for agricultural commodities or metals). 3-Productivity can be measured
either on the basis of the combined
factors of production (total factor productivity) or on,The basis of workers’
productivity, which is the output per
unit of workers’ production, is measured either by the number of people
employed (either in this report) or by
number of hours worked (International
Labour Office, 2005 b). To examine
productivity levels in different countries,Meaningfully, convert raw GDP
figures per worker in US dollars into

basis of purchasing power parity, take
