Decent work in the Philippines

The primary goal of the ILO is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Decent work is the opportunity for productive work in which rights are protected, adequate income is generated, and sufficient social protection is provided. Decent work is the goal of ILO’s tripartite constituents - governments, workers and employers.

The ILO provides support to its member States in the development of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) aligned with national, social and economic development priorities of different countries, to help move towards making decent work a reality and to sustain tripartite efforts in ways that are appropriate for them.

Priorities in the DWCP are aligned with the Philippine Development Plan and the AmBisyon Natin 2040. It is also anchored on the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.
