The World Bank Institute presented its Labor Market Policies Core Course for the second year running in Washington, D.C. from April 22 to May 3, 2002.

This global course was designed to provide participants with a solid grounding in the key issues that arise in the labor market. It focused on topics related to labor market adjustment, productivity of workers and the reduction of poverty in the labor force.

The Labor Markets Policies Core Course was open to participants from around the world. It was an excellent opportunity to network with key labor market policy makers from client countries and partner institutions. WBI encouraged the formation of country teams from different institutions as well as teams comprising Bank and country counterpart staff. We offered special fees for participants registering as a team.
