The webinar focused on wage policies as key to achieve social justice, and as a prerequisite for decent work and combating poverty. The webinar presented and discussed the situation of wage policies and minimum wages in the Arab region and their linkages with social justice and highlighted the relationship between the changes in means of production, the substitution effect of technology on labour and wage inequality. The webinar also addressed the impact of COVID-19 on employment and wages using examples from the region and beyond, and concluded with short policy messages to ensure that wage policy processes are inclusive, fair and part of a wider integrated social policy framework.
The webinar gathered a number of officials, concerned with social, labour and wage policies, representing the Ministries of Social Affairs and Labour from several member countries.
