ILO Conference to discuss better future at work
GENEVA – Together with universities from around the globe, the International Labour Organization (ILO) will hold a conference in Geneva from 8-10 July to discuss policies for a better future at work.
The 4th Conference on Regulating for Decent Work: Developing and Implementing Policies for a Better Future at Work (RDW) will focus on four key issues shaping the future of work in modern societies: protecting workers, securing income, regulating labour markets and reaching out to vulnerable workers.
The meeting takes place at a time when the economic and social crisis endures on a global scale with destructively high unemployment, expanding precarious work, growing numbers of working poor and rising inequality.
While reforms in policies and institutions that would counteract these trends have yet to materialise, the conference will discuss ways to overcome these policy failures which have triggered a broader unease about the future of work.
Journalists are cordially invited to attend the conference but need to be accredited. If you are interested in participation, please fill the online registration form.
