contents Fiscal policies to advance social justice: strategic entry points for trade unions to shape social development International Labour Organization (Issuing Body) Fiscal policy lies at the heart of social justice. Every decision on taxation, spending, and borrowing expresses a society’s social contract—defining who contributes, who benefits, and whose needs are prioritized. This brief provides trade unions with a roadmap to engage in fiscal decision-making at key stages of the budget cycle, from formulation to oversight. It highlights how progressive taxation, counter-cyclical investment, and gender-responsive budgeting can expand fiscal space for decent work, social protection, and the care economy. It also outlines concrete advocacy strategies for unions to influence both annual budgets and multi-year fiscal frameworks, embedding the financing for an inclusive, decent-job-rich structural transformation within them, while ensuring coherence between immediate measures and long-term, inclusive development goals. ILO brief. Policy brief, ILO 10.54394/DVKR1184 DOI https://doi.org/10.54394/DVKR1184 publication.encyclopediaEntry
