The 7th of October is the World Day of Decent Work, and like World Environment Day and Peace Day, it is a day that demands a global effort on the part of every person.
Decent work means opportunities for every- one to get work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration.
As 68% of people believe the government is bad at tackling unemployment, solutions outside of the public sector must be explored. Considering only 7% of the world’s workers are unionised when millions need the protection they provide, drawing attention to these vital organisations and encouraging their implementation the world over is of profound importance.
