Revising labour legislation

Providing labour laws

Description

Revising labour legislation involves systematically updating laws and regulations governing employment conditions to address emerging workplace challenges, protect workers’ rights, and ensure fair labour standards. This strategy aims to remedy issues such as outdated protections, unsafe working environments, and exploitative practices by introducing clear, enforceable rules. The process includes stakeholder consultation, legal review, and implementation of amendments to promote equitable employment, enhance social justice, and support economic development through improved labour relations.

Implementation

ILO provides assistance to governments for the revision of their labour legislation, in the light of different policy options and on the provisions of various ratified and unratified international labour standards. This often entrails a comprehensive revision of the labour laws, notably in the case of developing countries.
