Care Work and Care Jobs for the Future of Decent Work


Book Description

The report analyses the ways in which unpaid care work is recognised and organised, the extent and quality of care jobs and their impact on the well-being of individuals and society. A key focus of this report is the persistent gender inequalities in households and the labour market, which are inextricably linked with care work. These gender inequalities must be overcome to make care work decent and to ensure a future of decent work for both women and men. The report contains a wealth of original data drawn from over 90 countries and details transformative policy measures in five main areas: care, macroeconomics, labour, social protection and migration. It also presents projections on the potential for decent care job creation offered by remedying current care work deficits and meeting the related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.







Digital Labour Platforms and the Future of Work


Book Description

The emergence of online digital labour platforms has been one of the major transformations in the world of work over the past decade. This report provides one of the first comparative studies of working conditions on five major micro-task platforms that operate globally. It is based on an ILO survey covering 3,500 workers in 75 countries around the world and other qualitative surveys. The report analyses the working conditions on these micro-task platforms, including pay rates, work availability and intensity, social protection coverage and work-life balance. The report recommends 18 principles for ensuring decent work on digital labour platforms.







Violence at Work


Book Description

Violence at work, ranging from bullying and mobbing, to threats by psychologically unstable co-workers, sexual harassment and homicide, is increasing worldwide and has reached epidemic levels in some countries. This updated and revised edition looks at the full range of aggressive acts, offers new information on their occurrence and identifies occupations and situations at particular risk. It is organised in three sections: understanding violence at work; responding to violence at work; future action.

Nouvelle structure de l'Organisation internationale du travail


Book Description

L'Organisation internationale du travail a, depuis sa création en 1919, toujours été considérée comme une institution progressiste, puisqu'à côté des représentants des gouvernements, elle fait place aux syndicats ouvriers et patronaux. Ce tripartisme, qui assure une participation des individus, procède d'un certain fédéralisme, en rupture avec l'inter-étatisme classique des organisations internationales. Or, la réforme de la structure de l'OIT, votée le 24 juin 1986, apporte des limitations à ce système, au nom d'une démocratisation qui tend à augmenter le poids des États. Cet ouvrage s'interroge sur la portée de cette réforme : en démocratisant l'OIT l'a-t-on dénaturée ou, au contraire, n'a-t-on pas adopté une approche plus réaliste des rapports internationaux ?
