The World Bank and International Labor Organization recently launched a joint database and analysis of global policy responses to the financial and economic crisis. The event was held during the World Bank Spring Meetings, webcast to a worldwide audience, and has been posted here for additional review.

In this video excerpt Peter Bakvis of the International Trade Union Confederation discusses how trade unions around the world responded to the financial crisis, and how labor and industry are preparing for potential future crises.

The database and analysis is the first of its kind, and is intended to share policy efforts enacted by countries during the economic crisis and serve as a stepping-off point for policymakers to consider as they work to create and improve jobs.
