Jobs at the United Nations are some of the most sought-after in international development. The reason: Perks are comparable to those in the private sector.
“The U.N. looks after its employees well, regardless of whether they are in the HQ [headquarters] or in the field,” said Jasmina Popin, who currently works for the U.N. Industrial Development Organization.
A U.N. employee’s position and location determines their benefits. Notable perks include health insurance, up to 30 days of paid vacation, education grants for dependent children, rental subsidies and a generous pension plan.
