- The session will begin with the launch of the World Trade Report 2017: Trade, technology and Jobs. Following the launch of the report, a group of eminent panellists will bring their experience to the discussion of the labour market effects of globalization and its implications for further integration, business strategy, macroeconomic relations, labour markets and how societies might better handle adjustment.
The World Trade Report 2017 examines how technology and trade – two of the most powerful drivers of global economic progress – affect employment and wages. It looks in particular into the part played by technology and trade in the shift of employment from manufacturing to services, in the decreasing proportion of middle-skilled jobs, and in the growing value placed on skills within the jobs market.

- Description and panel overview
Trade in food is difficult to imagine without standards. Food standards give confidence to consumers about the safety, quality and authenticity of what they eat. By setting out a common understanding on different aspects of food for consumers, producers and governments, harmonization on the basis of international standards makes trade less costly and more inclusive. Food standards and trade go hand in hand in ensuring safe, nutritious and sufficient food for a growing world population.

Gender features strongly as a cross-cutting theme in the "Aid for Trade at a Glance 2017" report. It highlights that developing countries and their development partners increasingly recognize the economic growth potential that can be tapped through women's economic empowerment. Among the 40 donors surveyed, 87% indicated that they now integrate women's economic empowerment into their Aid for Trade programming. And with good reason. The report also underscores a series of divides that hamper women and women-owned firms from fully reaping the benefits of international trade.
