Campaigning for more unskilled jobs to be created. As there has been a significant decline in unskilled jobs, in countries like Australia. Yes, this was long before the pandemic.

It also means providing the same kind of health funding that is going to COVID-19, to other health matters. Ill health and disability are big causes of unemployment or infrequent employment.

TB is a highly contagious disease that kills more than one million people per year. There is a shortfall in funding, a few billion dollars, that needs to be addressed.

The Asian Development fund and bank provide grants and loans to Asian countries. Providing funds that can be used to create more, and better employment for people.

In Australia, we could bring in more temporary and permanent migrants.  Helping people from low income countries get jobs and better paying jobs.

A world of work for everyone.
