The
International
Labor
Organization
says
the
number
of
people
without
jobs is increasing. In its latest update on global
employment trends, the agency says
projections of the number of
unemployed
people this year range from 210 million to nearly
240
million people. The report warns
that 200 million poor workers are
at
risk
of
joining
the
ranks
of
people
living
on
less
than
2
dollars
per day in the past
three years. The director general of the
International Labor Organization Juan
Somavia notes that some
countries have
taken measures to address the effects of the
global
crisis.
(2) However, he points out that many
countries have not done so.
And based
on past experiences, it takes four to five years
after
economic
recovery
for
unemployment
to
return
to
pre-crisis
levels.
Mr.
Somavia
says
the
International
Labor
Organization
is
proposing
a
global jobs ' agreement to deal with unemployment.
“Its key
objective
is
to
place
the
center
of
recovery
efforts
—
measures
that
would generate high
levels of employment and provide basic social
protection for the most vulnerable.

recognize the importance of innovation
today, but not many are able to
integrate innovation into their
business.
A
commentary
in
the
Shanghai
Daily
points
out
that
innovation doesn ' t mean piles of
documents. It' s something more
practical.

The article says many people tend to
assume that innovation
just means
creating something new, but actually it ' s more
than
that. It's an attitude of doing
things. A company should find ways
to
innovate not just in products but also in
functions, business
models and
processes.

The article cites the global ^iant
Procter & Gamble as an
example,
saying
a
real
innovative
company

innovation
culture

use
it
as
a
primary
tool
for
success.
Procter

has
a
Innovation
Fund
which
offers
big
rewards
for
high-risk ideas that succeed. It also has a
special innovation
facility for its
employees. Sometimes its employees are released
