Volume 1 – Has trade led to better jobs? – Findings based on the ILO’s Decent Work Indicators

Chapter 10. The ILO’s support on labour commitments in trade agreements

This chapter examines the ILO’s ongoing Trade for Decent Work project, which provides technical cooperation to countries in the context of European Union trade arrangements. They then turn to the ILO’s observation of workplace democratic processes in Mexico, which were supported by the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). Both experiences can provide inspiration on how to strengthen ILO action to foster social justice and decent work in a trade context.
