Channel: Nagrik Learning
Date: 2021-04-30

The state intervenes in the labour market through labour law to prevent wages and conditions of work from being pushed below levels that are considered acceptable. It sets out rules that protect the ability of workers to organise and bargain collectively and minimum standards for the various aspects of work such as wages, working time, health and safety, workplace facilities, and social security.

In this video, we will learn about the objectives of labour law.

This video is the first lecture from the module on introduction to labour standards. To enrol in this course on Decent Work for Women, visit www.nagriklearning.com.
