Decent Work Indicators - Concepts and definitions

Decent work is central to sustainable poverty reduction and is a means for achieving equitable, inclusive and sustainable development. The 2008 ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization recommends the establishment of appropriate indicators to monitor and evaluate the progress made in the implementation of the ILO Decent Work Agenda. The ILO is supporting member States through technical assistance and capacity building at national, sub-regional and regional levels. In this regard, the contribution of the EU project on Measuring and Assessing Progress on Decent Work (MAP) plays an important role.

This Manual on Concepts and Definitions of Decent Work Indicators presents a description of statistical indicators and legal framework indicators related to the ten substantive elements of decent work.

The statistical indicators are presented in five elements: measurement objective and rationale; method of computation; concepts and definitions; recommended data sources; and metadata and disaggregation, with brief interpretation guidelines.

The legal framework indicators aim to summarize legal information on the 21 topics that are considered as relevant to measure decent work, through several aspects of the law: laws, policies or institutions that are in place; benefit levels and thresholds; evidence of implementation effectiveness; rough percentage of workers covered, both in law and in practice; and the ratification of relevant ILO Conventions.
