GOVERNANCE provides advice on labour laws based on ILO conventions and recommendations, state-of-the-art technical support and capacity-building to labour ministries and assists labour inspectorates to build capacity and develop strategies to achieve compliance with labour laws. It advocates and helps constituents to build strong and functional institutions and processes for social dialogue and to realize fundamental principles and rights at work.

The Research and Evaluation Unit of the Branch is responsible for data and measurement; analysing causes and consequences of FUNDAMENTALS violations; monitoring, and evaluation and impact assessments. It supports other units of the Branch in designing technical cooperation projects, promoting partnerships and effective advocacy.
The position is based in Geneva, Switzerland and is tasked with advancing research to inform policies formulation that are concerned with advancing fundamental principles and rights at work in specific country contexts and to suggest ways in which FUNDAMENTALS concerns are mainstreamed in national development policy frameworks.
The incumbent will work primarily on the STATIP (standard tools for analysis of trafficking in persons) project, a joint project by the ILO, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the University of Georgia (UGA), that aims to develop international statistical guidelines and tools for national statistical offices to implement surveys on measuring prevalence of trafficking in persons, including trafficking in persons for forced labour purposes.

Description of Duties
The incumbent will assist the Head of the Research and Evaluation Unit and selected Project Managers (Senior Economists/Statisticians) in the effective implementation of projects.
