With your endorsement and support we have reorganized , focussed our efforts and made progress on key issues, changed the way we work and brought new perspectives which reflect the views of people and families. We have made a good start but much more needs to be done. We need to assess our common endeavours to translate decent work into realizable programmes and activities. This report is about the steps we must now take.
Decent work is a goal .
It reflects a universal aspiration of women and men everywhere and connects with their hopes to obtain productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Despite transformations in the world of work, the essence of what people want from work remains constant across cultures and levels of development. Decent work is a personal goal for individuals and families and a development goal for countries. Decent work provides an integrated policy framework . The integration of four strategic objectives into a single agenda offers a framework for policy-making based on a coherent approach to shared goals.
