Apresentação do curso
Employment impact assessment is essential for understanding how economic policies, investments and sectoral interventions affect job creation and labour market outcomes. This online course introduces participants to the ILO's approach to employment impact assessment and provides an in-depth exploration of Input-Output tables and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) analysis. Participants will learn how SAM-based multiplier analysis captures linkages across economic activities and sectors, enabling the estimation of direct and indirect employment effects resulting from changes in investment, production and demand. Through practical cases and hands-on, data-based exercises, participants will gain the skills to conduct SAM-based analysis, interpret analytical results and use evidence from SAM analysis to inform policy design and programme planning aimed at promoting job-rich growth.
