Core Labour Standards

Core Labour Standards refer to a set of fundamental principles and rights that are recognized internationally to ensure fair and decent working conditions. These include the right to freely chosen employment, the prohibition of forced and child labor, ensuring equality and freedom from discrimination in the workplace, and the right to organize and bargain collectively. Established by the International Labour Organization (ILO), these standards aim to protect workers’ rights and promote social justice, ultimately contributing to improved working conditions and economic development globally. They are essential for fostering dignity and respect in the workplace.
