To build a sustainable and resilient economy, the need to organise and regulate work in ways that guarantee rights and promote well-being
With the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world of work, stakeholders in the labour sector have highlighted the need to chart a way to build an inclusive and sustainable recovery to address present and future obstacles.
He urged governments, employers’ and workers’ organisations to adapt to shape a better, post-pandemic future. With a large number of people living in extreme working conditions, he stressed that many workers faced a choice, which was hard to imagine, such as “stay home with your family and go hungry, or take an existential risk to put food on the table, and go out to work.”
He said: “The general decline in trade union membership has been widely reported. But there is more to the issue than that. The ILO estimates that, in 46 countries for which we have data, the coverage of workers by collective agreements has also declined by an average of eight per cent in the last five years. Taken together, this means that the voices of many workers are not being heard. This has consequences not just for the world of work but for democracy more broadly.
