=====Key Insights=====
The report discusses the global employment and social outlook for 2018, highlighting a modest recovery in economic growth, projected at 3.6% in 2017. Despite this recovery, global unemployment remains high, with over 190 million people unemployed. Vulnerable employment is increasing, particularly in developing regions, where 42% of workers are in precarious jobs. The report emphasizes the need for better job quality and social protection, especially as population aging will significantly impact labor markets. By 2030, the number of retirees is expected to rise sharply, increasing the old-age dependency ratio and putting pressure on pension systems. The report also notes that structural transformation towards service sectors may not lead to improved working conditions, as many new jobs are in low-quality sectors. Overall, the report calls for targeted policies to enhance job quality and address the challenges posed by demographic changes.  \\
