Pursuing decent work goals: Priorities for research

The ILO's research agenda was debated in the International Institute for Labour Studies' Research Conference on "Decent Work, Social Policy and Development", which was held in late 2006. A series of plenary presentations in the conference explored facts, forces and variables affecting decent work and suggested a number of priorities for analysis and policy. Six papers based on those presentations make this volume. They draw on a diversity of disciplines, particularly economics, sociology and law, and include both global and regional - African, Asian and European - perspectives. The book includes reflection on the links between economic and social policies; discusses challenges for research and action arising from increasingly informal labour markets; and identifies knowledge gaps concerning the impact of macro-economic and trade policies on decent work.
