The ILO is developing standards for decent work in the platform economy.
More than 30 civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations and unions demand that this new ILO standard puts a stop to harmful practice, protects and promotes workers' rights and stands against data-driven exploitation.
The 2-Billion Person Challenge shows that it is not learning its own lessons. In the last decade, the World Bank has stepped up its advocacy of poverty targeting as the basis for tax-financed social protection schemes in low- and middle-income countries by promoting social registries.
Human Rights Watch, in partnership with the GCSPF, is pleased to invite you to the virtual launch “The Gig Trap: Algorithmic, Wage, and Labor Exploitation in Platform Work in the United States”.
Civil society organizations and trade unions call governments and international financial institutions to make a commitment to create social security systems that enable everyone to realize their rights. Governments and financial institutions should end policies that have been failing millions of people.
The programme Improving Synergies Between Social Protection and Public Finance Management provided medium-term support to multiple countries aiming to strengthen their social protection systems at a national level and ensure sustainable financing. The programme aimed to support countries in their efforts towards achieving universal social protection coverage.
This initiative was implemented jointly by the ILO, Unicef, and the GCSPF.
