    What's the story

    The International Labour Organisation chief, Guy Ryder, is on a five-day visit to India on the invitation of labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya.

    He praised India's "impressive economic growth" and approved of Prime Minister Modi's labour reforms.

    He also said that India's growth relies upon its government's ability to inch towards formalizing its workforce and providing universal social security to all.

    What the Director General of the ILO has to say

    According to Ryder, even India's impressive economic growth has been unable to generate quality jobs.

    The gender gap in the Indian workforce is 40% against the global average of 25%, he pointed out.

    Pressing India to formalize its workforce, Ryder said, "Make in India great, Start-up India great, Skill India great; make Formal India part of the story."

    Sustainable Development Goal

    Around 600 million new jobs will have to be created in the next 15 years in the whole world, according to the estimates set by the International Labour Organisation, to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal agenda.
