The thematic dialogue on Fostering social dialogue for shared prosperity explores collective approaches to addressing societal challenges, emphasizing the crucial role of social dialogue in achieving social justice, including by promoting collective bargaining. It examines how collaborative efforts among partners can lead to inclusive prosperity, ensure equitable access to opportunities, and drive sustainable development.
