Working time and work organisation

The ILO’s objective is to deliver high-quality, sex-disaggregated research and information, identifying recent trends and effective policies to guide the content of national policies.
High-profile publications

Over the last decade, the ILO has released several high-profile publications on working time and work organization. These high-profile publications include:

• Working Time and Workers’ Preferences in Industrialized Countries: Finding the balance
• Decent Working Time: New trends, new issues
• Working Time Around the World: Trends in working hours, laws and policies in a global comparative perspective
• Offshoring and Working Conditions in Remote Work
• Work Sharing during the Great Recession: New developments and beyond

Working papers

In addition to these high-profile publications, ILO staff and experts from academia have also published a number of working papers on topics which are related to working time and work organization. Recent working papers have examined work sharing in Germany, working time (including in the informal economy) and work organization in Senegal, working time developments in China, and statistics on working time arrangements.
