African policy-makers must make employment a top priority in order to counter the adverse impact of globalisation, International Labour Organisation head Juan Somavia said on the eve of a two-day African Union summit on poverty alleviation. "Job creation cannot be left to flow as a result of other economic policies, it must be a targeted objective," he said in an interview before flying to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, for the conference, which starts on Wednesday. "Growth without employment means aggravating inequality; instead of spreading wealth, it concentrates it," Somavia warned.
