The General Conference of the International Labour Organization, Geneva June 2004

The recommendation adopted by the ILO in its recent conference in June 2004 focused on the importance of education, training and lifelong learning which contribute significantly to promoting the interests of individuals, enterprises, the economy and society as a whole, especially considering the critical challenge of attaining full employment, poverty eradication, social inclusion and sustained economic growth in the global economy. The recommendation called on governments, employers and workers to renew their commitment to lifelong learning: governments by investing and creating the conditions to enhance education and training at all levels; enterprises by training their employees; and individuals by making use of the education, training and lifelong learning opportunities.
