The Global Deal is a global initiative with the objective of jointly addressing the challenges in the global labour market and enabling all people to benefit from globalisation. The Global Deal is a multi-stakeholder partnership in line with SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals (Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development). Furthermore, The Global Deal aims to encourage governments, businesses, unions and other organisations to make commitments to enhance social dialogue. Social dialogue includes all types of negotiation, consultation or exchange of information between or among representatives of governments, employers and workers on issues of common interest relating to economic and social policy. Effective social dialogue can contribute to decent work, quality jobs and increased productivity and thus to greater equality and inclusive growth. The Global Deal offers a win-win-win opportunity.
