  1. The ILO Decent Work Indicators An overview

  2. Decent Work Agenda • From around 1980 the neo-liberal agenda promoted jobs growth through deregulation: ‘Any job is better than none’ • From the late 1990s the ILO began to stress the importance of job quality and coined the term ‘Decent Work’

  3. Decent Work Is ‘work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration, freedom for people to express their concerns, organize and participate in the decisions that affect their lives and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men’. (ILO)

  4. 4 pillars of the Decent Work Agenda • International labour standards and fundamental principles and rights at work • Employment creation • Social protection • Social dialogue and tripartism

  5. Decent Work Statistical Indicators • 18 ‘Main’ indicators; 25 ‘Additional’ indicators; 12 ‘Context’ indicators; and more • To cover all four pillars • Grouped in 10 elements

  6. The 10 elements • employment opportunities • adequate earnings and productive work • decent working time • combining work, family and personal life * • work that should be abolished • stability and security of work • equal opportunity and treatment in employment • safe work environment • social security • social dialogue, employers’ and workers’ representation

  7. Main DWIs: 10 elements & 4 pillars

  8. Some Additional DW Indicators

  9. Cross-cutting variables • Because gender equality cuts across the decent work agenda, it is recommended to disaggregate most variables by sex • For similar reasons, also by age group, education, and ethnicity for some variables

  10. Economic and social context variables

  11. Decent Work Indicators • Put the focus on the quality as well as the quantity of employment • Shine a light on inequality • Have a social protection dimension • OECD, IMF, World Bank also now recognise need to focus on quality as well as quantity of employment

  12. ILO Manual has 257 pages DECENT WORK INDICATORS GUIDELINES FOR PRODUCERS AND USERS OF STATISTICAL AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK INDICATORS ILO MANUAL Second version December

  13. But the Manual does not include • The ‘main’ statistical indicator on freedom of association and collective bargaining • Share of population covered by (basic) health insurance

  14. Our task To identify the DWIs that are used to measure and monitor progress on the SDGs, and To identify other DWIs that will be useful to the CMTU in collective bargaining with employers, and in social dialogue with government and employers to shape public policy
