Participation at the 3rd Conference on Regulating for Decent Work: Regulating for Equitable and Job‐Rich Growth (RDW), 3-5 July 2013

The 2013 RDW Conference will centre on the role of labour market regulation when job creation is the paramount objective. Papers are invited to address labour market regulation's ideal post‐crisis form, with a special focus on four thematic issues: (a) Comparing and evaluating labour regulation systems; (b) regulating informal work; (c) industrial and employment relations for inclusive growth; (d) new patterns of segmentation and new challenges for promoting inclusive labour markets.

The ILO Office for Pacific Island Countries, Labour Standards Officer, Anne Boyd, will present a paper at the Regulating for Decent Work Conference to be held in Geneva from 3 - 5 July 2013 on labour law reform in the Pacific Region. The focus of the paper is the impact of weak institutional frameworks and the value and impact of tripartite labour advisory forums and participatory social dialogue to sustainable law reform processes.
