   In search of more and better jobs for young people in Serbia

   01 January 2009

   Across the globe, young women and men are making an important contribution as productive workers, entrepreneurs, consumers, citizens, members of civil society and agents of change. All too often, the full potential of young people is not realized because they have no access to productive and decent jobs. Although they are an asset in every country, many young people face high levels of economic and social uncertainty. A difficult transition into the world of work has long-lasting consequences not only on youth but also on their families and communities.

   A Tool Kit for Labour Inspectors: A Model Enforcement Policy. A Training and Operations Manual - A Code of Ethical Behaviour

   01 January 2006

   This new "Tool kit" provides three basic tools for a modern, efficient and effective labour inspection practice. Special attention has been given to the often new and unfamiliar roles of labour inspectors and how they can manage the reform process in a changing political and economic environment - in other words, WHAT and HOW inspectors inspect. The tools are presented in simple terms, avoid technical language and highlight key points for easy reference. They are sufficiently comprehensive to help inspectors in their day-to-day activities and to motivate managers in labour inspectorates to rethink their roles and adopt more innovative approaches to inspection services. It is hoped that the Policy, Manual and Code of Ethics will become the standard reference tools for labour inspectors and managers at all levels in the labour inspection services in many countries. They will also be invaluable for employers' and workers' organisations and their members who will know what to expect from labour inspectors.
