Title: Reducing the Decent Work Deficit
Description: This volume sets forth the ILO's agenda for achieving decent work for all. It reflects on the challenge of providing work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity throughout the world. The concept of decent work is explained (working conditions, balancing work and family life, gender equality, equal recognition, training, eliminating child labor, etc.), and a framework presented for putting the agenda to work in a rapidly changing world economy. The report explores decent work in practice, and the policies and initiatives that must be put into place at the global and national levels for it to succeed, achieving social progress in the face of the many difficulties governments, workers' and employers' organizations confront in the new global economy.--Publisher's description.
