international labor standards

International labor standards are rules established by global organizations like the International Labour Organization (ILO) to promote fair, safe, and decent working conditions worldwide. They set guidelines on issues such as fair wages, safe workplaces, working hours, children's rights, and protecting workers from exploitation. These standards aim to improve the quality of work life, promote equality, and ensure that workers everywhere have basic rights and protections. While they serve as a global benchmark, countries can adapt them to their specific contexts, promoting cooperation and fair treatment across borders.
