Validation Workshop on a Study on the State of Decent Work in the Tea Smallholder Sector in Sri Lanka
The ILO Country office for Sri Lanka and the Maldives will be hosting a validation workshop on a study on the State of Decent Work in the Tea Smallholder Sector in Sri Lanka, on Wednesday, 1st August at the Movepick Hotel in Colombo.
The scope of the study is to identify the role and operations of tea smallholders in the supply chain, assess the current state of decent work in the sub-sector, identify how the smallholders are likely to evolve in the coming years in relation to “work and society”, “decent jobs for all”, “organisation of work and production” and “governance of work”, and to provide recommendations to the tripartite stakeholders to ensure the competitiveness and growth of the industry.
This study has been conducted by a team of senior research professionals from the University of Sabaragamuwa led by Professor Mohamed Esham. Prof. Esham and his team will present the findings at the workshop followed by a plenary, participants of which will represent the Sri Lankan government, employers' organisations, regional plantation companies, trade unions, and tea smallholders' cooperatives.
ILO intends to publish the final report of the study, which will be available to the public by the end of August 2018.
