In the context of globalization, issues of poverty reduction and sustainable employment are addressed not only through national efforts but also through international experience and institutional cooperation. Particularly, the enhancement of knowledge and professional capacity of public officials responsible for these areas is a crucial strategic factor.

In the context of globalization, modernizing the labor market, ensuring employment, and reducing poverty cannot be effectively addressed without international cooperation.
