Wages, working time, work organization, maternity protection and arrangements to adapt working life to the demands of life outside work are core elements of the employment relationship and of workers' protection. They are major dimensions of human resources management at the enterprise level, collective bargaining and social dialogue as well as socio-economic policies of governments. TRAVAIL develops comparative analysis and provides technical assistance to ILO constituents in these areas.

In 2008, the report Working Conditions Laws 2006-2007: A global review (ILO, 2008) was first published, which drew on the information contained in TRAVAIL's database. In view of the interest it generated, we have decided to issue an update of that report. The present edition offers a succinct and easy-to-read review of national legal developments in improving the quality of working life, enhancing productivity and advancing social objectives, such as preserving workers’ health and safety, reconciling work-life and work-family balance, and promoting equality.

Workplace partnerships are effective for working parents considering childcare solutions. The focus of this book is on why workplace partners around the world have become involved in childcare and about the nature of programmes that have been implemented. Partnership is a key theme, and the authors highlight the fruitfulness of collaborations that combine the resources and capabilities of different actors. Ten countries, industrialized and developing, are examined through a national overview on policies and facilities for childcare and the implications for working parents, followed by case studies of specific workplaces.
