NOTE

One of the concerns of the ILO is the use of language that may not imply unjustified discrimination between men and women. In Spanish, however, this raises problems of different kinds, about which consensus has not yet been reached.

In the Spanish original, therefore, the generic masculine was used in all cases, to avoid spelling overloading, on the understanding that all instances always represent both sexes.
