Global: ILO seeks new global economic order

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has called for a shift in the global economic paradigm. Director-General of the global job watch body, Juan Somavia, stressed the need to turn around the current inefficient growth patterns of world economy, for a redefinition of priorities and the political conviction to overcome the dogmas of the past. Somavia said 'there has been too much ideology in defining policies and too little human sensitivity to the individuals, families, communities. Too much financial, too little social.'
