"in the communist ideology" education is tied directly to jobs -- control of the job being the critical control point in an authoritarian state."

Idaho Statesman:  Minnick, other freshmen Democrats, propose rehaul to workforce training

Rep. Walt Minnick, D-Idaho, has introduced a bill that he says would bring major reform to federal job-training programs by prioritizing training and education that helps workers become certified for a new career.

"We must do a better job of aligning education and job training to the career pathways available in the 21st century economy," Minnick wrote in a letter to colleagues. "The best way to prepare today’s students for the reality of the modern workforce is to offer training in industry-recognized skills.”

Principles of Action - Page 87 (Adobe 95)

I. Migrating out of choice: Migration and the global economy
Women, men and children should be able to realize their potential, meet their needs, exercise
their human rights and fulfill their aspirations in their country of origin, and hence migrate out of
choice, rather than necessity. Those women and men who migrate and enter the global labour
market should be able to do so in a safe and authorized manner, and because they and their
skills are valued and needed by the states and societies that receive them. 

II. Reinforcing economic and developmental impact
The role that migrants play in promoting development and poverty reduction in countries of origin,
as well as the contribution they make towards the prosperity of destination countries, should be
recognized and reinforced. International migration should become an integral part of national,
regional and global strategies for economic growth, in both the developing and developed world.

III. Addressing irregular migration
States, exercising their sovereign right to determine who enters and remains on their territory,
should fulfill their responsibility and obligation to protect the rights of migrants and to re-admit
those citizens who wish or who are obliged to return to their country of origin. In stemming
irregular migration, states should actively cooperate with one another, ensuring that their efforts
do not jeopardize human rights, including the right of refugees to seek asylum. Governments
should consult with employers, trade unions and civil society on this issue.

IV. Strengthening social cohesion through integration
Migrants and citizens of destination countries should respect their legal obligations and benefit
from a mutual process of adaptation and integration that accommodates cultural diversity and
fosters social cohesion. The integration process should be actively supported by local and
national authorities, employers and members of civil society, and should be based on a
commitment to non-discrimination and gender equity. It should also be informed by an objective
public, political and media discourse on international migration.

V. Protecting the rights of migrants
The legal and normative framework affecting international migrants should be strengthened,
implemented more effectively and applied in a non-discriminatory manner, so as to protect the
human rights and labour standards that should be enjoyed by all migrant women and men.
Respecting the provisions of this legal and normative framework, states and other stakeholders
must address migration issues in a more consistent and coherent manner.

VI. Enhancing governance: Coherence, capacity and cooperation
The governance of international migration should be enhanced by improved coherence and
strengthened capacity at the national level; greater consultation and cooperation between states
at the regional level, and more effective dialogue and cooperation among governments and
between international organizations at the global level. Such efforts must be based on a better
appreciation of the close linkages that exist between international migration and development and other key policy issues, including trade, aid, state security, human security and human rights.

35. The globalization of national economies has increased the challenge of harmful tax competition. As stated in the Lyon communique, tax schemes aimed at attracting financial and other geographically mobile activities can create harmful tax competition between states, carrying risks of distorting trade and investment, and could lead to the erosion of national tax bases. Harmful tax competition also undermines the fairness and neutrality of the tax system. Hence we attach great importance to the work undertaken by the OECD. We hope that the OECD can produce its conclusions and recommendations on this subject in time for our consideration at next year's Summit.
