5.11 Rights and labour law reform: Working Out of Poverty

● Development of a programme to eradicate child labour and the linkages to improved access to schools. Data on child labour require a special approach, given that it is often hidden.

● Review of law and practice regarding fundamental principles and rights at work, taking account of any recommendations by the ILO. Overcoming discrimination and facilitating the exercise of the right to freedom of association by workers and enterprises operating in the rural sector and the informal economy are key issues.

● Modernization of labour codes and the promotion of collective bargaining, dispute resolution mechanisms and other forms of social dialogue.

● Re-examination of the application of labour laws in export processing zones to encourage a tripartite approach to the progressive improvement of the quality of production and employment conditions. To learn more about this author, visit International Labour Organization's Website.
