Beskrivning
The Elgar Companion to Decent Work and the Sustainable Development Goals is an essential reference for understanding the role of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and its promotion of fair conditions, rights at work and employment opportunities for all. Bringing together contributions from over 60 leading labour scholars, this Companion critically investigates the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda and how it links to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Chapters look ahead to the future of labour trends and address a range of perspectives, including viewpoints from political science, economics, sociology and law. A comprehensive analysis of the decent work deficit is provided, along with an examination of the global labour market. Ultimately, the Companion discusses pressing issues such as ecological crises and the growing effect of the gig economy and automation on the changing nature of work, addressing the gap between aspirations and the reality of the global labour market. This prescient Companion is vital for students and scholars of labour studies, economics, international relations and law. Offering an important overview of the history of the Decent Work Agenda, it is also beneficial to practitioners and policy advocates.

Recensioner i media

‘The Decent Work Agenda, proposed by the ILO in 1999 and formally adopted in 2008, comprises four pillars: employment creation, social protection, rights at work and social dialogue. In 2015 these were incorporated in the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development. Yet work has become more and more precarious and exploitative. This book critically assesses the ILO's strategic response to globalisation, addressing the setbacks and criticisms surrounding the decent work agenda. It captures the complexity of this agenda, evaluating different criticisms and providing a platform for further scrutiny. As a comprehensive guide, this Companion cuts across disciplines, including labour studies, political economy, political science, sociology and social policy. It serves as an important resource for academics, students and policy practitioners navigating the multifaceted landscape of labour, making it an essential contribution to the debates on sustainable development.’
