High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic: Final report of the expert group

The United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, established the High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth in March 2016. Its task is to propose intersectoral actions to guide and stimulate the creation of health and social sector jobs to advance inclusive economic growth. 

In support of the Commission’s work, an Expert Group was convened to critically review the available evidence. Against a context of high and often growing inequalities and persistently high global unemployment; the Expert Group finds that effective investments in the health workforce could generate enormous improvements in health, well-being and human security, as well as decent jobs and inclusive economic growth.
