Summary: just more job insecurity. Nor are they resulting in higher incomes for the toiling masses, just greater poverty. These reforms are giving rise to greater labor informalization, labor intesification, and dismantling the rights and entitlements of labor won over 200 years of workers' struggles-all for the benefit of global capital. But this intesifying of global capital is also reinvigorating labor's resistance to neoliberal globalization. The Asia Pacific Research Network addressed these urgent and wide-ranging issues in its 7th Annual Conference in Cebu, Philippines in December 2006, With the hopes of contributing to the process of strengthening workers solidarity-and attaining jobs and justice for all working people.Summary: The neoliberal reforms prescribed under the post-Washington consensus have increased profits through greater value-added, greater trade and investment, and higher productivity. But these labor market reforms are not generating new jobs
