Labor Practices and decent work

 
Human capital potential with an organization's ability to develop and deploy a healthy, educated and capable workforce - This is the key

The primary goal of the ILO today is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity.

 

The four pillars of Decent work are :

  1. Productive and freely chosen employment
  2. Rights at work
  3. Social protection
  4. Social dialogue

Productive and freely chosen employment

 
Should we prepare young people for the labour market or prepare the labour market for young people? 
 
Minsky argues that public policy that favours education and training over job creation puts “the cart before the horse” and is unlikely to succeed.
 
A dynamic economy is always leaving old skills behind and demanding new ones. At any point, there will be a permanent, sizeable, pool of those with inappropriate skills and education
 
 
1. With a view to stimulating economic growth and development, raising levels of living, meeting manpower requirements and overcoming unemployment and under-employment, each Member shall declare and pursue, as a major goal, an active policy designed to promote full, productive and freely chosen employment.
 
2. The said policy shall aim at ensuring that:
(a) there is work for all who are available for and seeking work;
(b) such work is as productive as possible;
(c) there is freedom of choice of employment and the fullest possible opportunity for each worker to qualify for, and to use his skills and endowments in, a job for which he is well suited, irrespective of race, colour, sex, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin.
