"This brief reframes macroeconomic policymaking as a space of democratic choice, not technocratic abstraction. It shows how fiscal, monetary, and exchange-rate decisions directly affect employment, job quality, and equity—and why workers' voices are critical in those decisions. By promoting coherence across economic, social, and environmental policies, it calls for a paradigm shift towards pro-employment macroeconomic frameworks that make decent work a central objective of economic policy. Designed for immediate use by trade unions, it offers practical entry points, analytical tools, and explanatory notes—including a glossary of core macroeconomic terms defined in clear, accessible language for quick reference—to support evidence-based advocacy and participation in macroeconomic governance."
