World Day for Decent Work is celebrated annually on October 7.
World Day for Decent Work is celebrated annually on October 7. Created by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1999, this date is an opportunity to promote the concept of decent work, which involves fair working conditions, respect for workers' rights, equal opportunities, adequate wages and social protection. Decent work is considered essential for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction. Trade union movements and labor organizations around the world organize activities on this day to advocate for better working conditions, combat unemployment and inequalities in the labor market. The date highlights the importance of ensuring that all workers have access to a safe working environment, free from exploitation and discrimination, and that they can contribute to economic growth with dignity and respect.
