    The purpose of the present Guide is to provide analytical tools, which can support further research on trade and decent work. It offers a broad set of labour market indicators for trade policy assessment that can be used in studies on the nexus between trade and employment, labour relations, and working terms and conditions. To that end, the Guide singles out and contextualizes those of the ILO's decent work indicators that are suitable for analysing the impact of trade policy on the labour market. It also facilitates the use of these indicators in macro, sectoral and micro assessments of the impact of trade on the labour market at the country level by providing an overview of measurement approaches, relevant data sources, links to trade theory and empirical evidence. Such assessments will help to support a more human-centred approach to the future of work - as called for in the ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work (ILO 2019a) - by making decent work a central objective of trade policy. Additionally, it resonates with the twin objectives of realizing free trade and decent work enshrined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, under Goal 17 and Goal 8, respectively

    This Handbook presents and critically evaluates the methodologies used to assess the impact of trade on various areas of decent work. To that end, it traces the evolution of theories and methodological approaches ranging from the macro (country), through the meso (industry/sector), to the micro (firm and worker) level. The Handbook examines the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches, taking into consideration their underlying assumptions, data requirements and the scope that they provide for analysing broader labour market outcomes, including those that can be measured using decent work indicators. Particular attention is paid to micro approaches, since analysis at that level, especially using linked employer-employee data sets, allows one to understand better the distributional effects of trade. Such data sets make it possible to take into account not only firm and worker characteristics but also their interactions, potentially leading to more realistic conclusions

    This publication is a major output of the project "Towards a human-centred business and economic model: Evidence from the BRICS countries", which was conducted in 2020-21 through a partnership between the ILO Research Department and a number of scholars from leading academic institutions around the world. The project was a joint endeavour by 12 researchers based in all the continents, except Antarctica. It examined novel evidence of human-centred human resources management (HRM) practices in five leading emerging economies, namely Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa (hereafter referred to collectively as the "BRICS countries"). The purpose of the project was to promote a deeper understanding of the relationships between megatrends that shape HRM policies and of their specific implications for the BRICS countries
