Levy Institute Takes Center Stage at an ILO Conference

The Levy Institute was pleased to co-sponsor multiple sessions at the International Labour Organization’s conference, Regulating for Decent Work on July 4th, 2025. We organized a special session on Designing Effective Job Guarantee Programs and Measurement Approaches to Growth and Development, featuring insights from global experts. Research Associate Agustin Mario participated at the closing plenary, Rethinking our Economic Model for Decent Work and Human Development, emphasizing the critical role of monetary regimes in shaping policy space for full employment. Additionally, Levy-affiliated scholars—including Daniel Kostzer and Maikel Lieuw Kie Song—presented on employment guarantee programs as automatic stabilizers and lessons from world experimentations with job guarantees. Earlier this year, the Institute also co-sponsored a UN side event at the Fourth Financing for Development (FfD4) PrepCom, further amplifying its influence on global economic policy debates.
