Thematic Labour Overview: Working in Rural Areas in the 21st Century

On 24 March 2017, the ILO Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, delivered a presentation on the 2016 Thematic Labour Overview (Panorama Laboral), which is devoted to the rural economy. The report examines the reality, recent trends and prospects of decent work in rural areas in Latin America and the Caribbean, and offers policy recommendations. The report provides the Region with robust data and analysis to support evidence-based policy-making for the promotion of decent work in the rural economy.
