conclusions and recommendations
• Develop policies and incentives that facilitate the
participation and involvement of social class, gender-, and
ethnicity-based social movements.
support the creation of precarious and informal workers’
organisations based on relevant shared features such as occupation
(domestic workers, taxi drivers, etc.), workplace location (farmers’
markets, streets), conditions such as being a migrant worker and
production chains (food industry chain composed of small agricultural
farmers to international trade corporations). These organisations, like
labour unions, will strengthen precarious and informal workers and
make their interests and needs politically visible.
• Develop policies and legislation that reduce insecurity in the
labour market, and provide more stability for temporary
employment jobs and precarious and informal employment.
• Regulatory controls on downsizing, subcontracting and
outsourcing (including supply chain regulation) and laws placing
limits on the use of precarious employment.
• Development of policies targeting the reduction of informal
business, such as special taxation gradients for unregistered
small and home-based firms.
• Expand social security to provide fair wages and more social
protection to workers in the informal economy and to home-makers.
• Develop legislation and regulations for informal
employment, creating incentives and sanctions for the reduction
of employment violations in the informal economy.
Government-led national industrial policies devoted to full
employment, enforcement of fair employment standards and
universal education are necessary to eliminate child labour.
• Development of programmes to raise parents' awareness
about the social and health problems caused by child labour and,
when applicable, conditional cash transfer programmes to poor
families with school-age children.
• support civil society mobilisation against the worst forms of
child labour (e.g., consumer boycotts).
Enforce controls to eliminate slavery and human trafficking.
supporting land reform in poor countries can potentially reduce
slavery, which is most common in areas of rural land conflicts.
• Anti slavery/bonded labour law and enforcement must be
mandated internationally (with target penalties for non-compliance).
