Although a detailed assessment is outside the scope of this report, recent findings by the International Labour Organization are useful in understanding how trade impacts on employment prospects in developing countries. An ILO study, Trade and Employment in the Global Crisis, describes the general employment impacts in the year following the 2008 financial crisis and trade slump, including detailed assessments for seven countries: Ukraine, Liberia, Uganda, India, South Africa, Brazil and Egypt. Country specific observations were based on official statistics, ILO Country Level Rapid Impact Assessments conducted at the behest of national governments, and economic modelling undertaken by the authors.
