Jamaica is actively reinforcing its dedication to the International Labour Organization (ILO) principles, focusing on decent work and social dialogue, even as global economic landscapes shift.

即使全球经济格局发生变化，牙买加仍在积极加强对国际劳工组织（ILO）原则的承诺，重点关注体面工作和社会对话。

Reaffirming Commitment to ILO Principles

重申对国际劳工组织原则的承诺

Hon. Donovan Williams, Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, recently underscored Jamaica's unwavering commitment to the ILO's core principles. This commitment includes promoting decent work, advancing a just transition, and deepening social dialogue. Minister Williams highlighted these points at the 20th American Regional Meeting (ARM) of the ILO in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

尊敬的。劳动和社会保障部国务部长多诺万·威廉姆斯最近强调了牙买加对国际劳工组织核心原则的坚定承诺。这一承诺包括促进体面工作、推进公正过渡以及深化社会对话。威廉姆斯部长在多米尼加共和国蓬塔卡纳举行的国际劳工组织第 20 届美洲地区会议 (ARM) 上强调了这些要点。

Key policy milestones in Jamaica include the establishment of the Labour Advisory Council (LAC), leadership in advocating for just transition within the Caribbean, and legislative advancements such as the Sexual Harassment Act (2021) and the ongoing review of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Bill.

Addressing Modern Challenges

应对现代挑战

The ILO meeting addressed pressing labor and climate challenges, including informality in labor markets and the rise of the platform economy. Participants emphasized the need for innovative and inclusive regulatory frameworks to ensure fair treatment and protection for all workers.

国际劳工组织会议讨论了紧迫的劳动力和气候挑战，包括劳动力市场的非正规性和平台经济的崛起。与会者强调需要创新和包容性的监管框架，以确保所有工人的公平待遇和保护。

Discussions also highlighted the urgent need for increased public and private investment in renewable energy and climate adaptation. Decisive action is critical for building a resilient and sustainable future across the region.

讨论还强调迫切需要增加对可再生能源和气候适应的公共和私人投资。果断行动对于在整个地区建设有复原力和可持续的未来至关重要。

Economic Vigilance in the Digital Age

数字时代的经济警惕

In light of global economic shifts, it's crucial to examine potential risks. One perspective raises concerns about Jamaica's external debt and foreign reserves in the context of the United States' move into speculative crypto. The concern is that if the US dollar becomes volatile due to crypto, Jamaica's debt repayments could surge, and a crypto-driven bank run in America could wipe out Jamaica’s savings.

鉴于全球经济变化，审视潜在风险至关重要。一种观点在美国转向投机性加密货币的背景下引发了对牙买加外债和外汇储备的担忧。令人担忧的是，如果美元因加密货币而变得波动，牙买加的债务偿还可能会激增，而美国由加密货币驱动的银行挤兑可能会耗尽牙买加的储蓄。

To mitigate these risks, it's suggested that the Jamaican government ensures transparency regarding the structure and security of foreign reserves and external holdings. A parliamentary inquiry may be necessary to safeguard the nation’s financial stability.

为了减轻这些风险，建议牙买加政府确保外汇储备和外部持有的结构和安全的透明度。为了维护国家的金融稳定，可能有必要进行议会调查。

Looking Ahead

展望未来

Jamaica's active participation in international forums like the ILO's ARM demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to labor and social security. By staying informed and engaged, Jamaica can continue to strengthen its frameworks and protect its workers.

牙买加积极参与国际劳工组织的 ARM 等国际论坛，展示了其在劳工和社会保障方面具有前瞻性的态度。通过保持知情和参与，牙买加可以继续加强其框架并保护其工人。

So, while serious issues are at play, it's also a time for optimism. Jamaica is on the ball, tackling challenges head-on and making sure everyone gets a fair shake. Keep an eye on these developments—it’s going to be an interesting ride!

因此，尽管存在严重问题，但现在也是乐观的时候。牙买加积极应对，正面应对挑战，确保每个人都得到公平的对待。请密切关注这些进展——这将是一次有趣的旅程！
