The ILO World of Work Show brings you a mix of live interviews and videos on the major challenges and opportunities facing the world of work.

In this episode of the World of Work Show, Deputy Director-General Celeste Drake discusses the Global Coalition for Social Justice, recently endorsed by the Governing Body of the ILO. With just days until the next UN Climate Summit, hosted by the United Arab Emirates, we look ahead to what is likely to be on the table in Dubai, the backdrop for the talks and what the ILO will be doing during the Conference. We also provide a sneak peek of what's in store at the forthcoming Congress on Safety and Health at Work, scheduled to take place in Sydney at the end of this month.

Geneva

How will the Global Coalition address the challenges of the world of work?

As 500 statisticians from around the world attend the <a href="https://live.ilo.org/events/21st-international-conference-labour-statisticians-2023-10">21st International Conference of Labour Statisticians</a> at the ILO in Geneva,&nbsp;this World of Work Show will explore the crucial role played by labour market data in creating better economies and better lives. What exactly do these&nbsp;statisticians do and how do their insights&nbsp;shape business strategies and government policies.&nbsp;The Show will also take you behind the scenes of the&nbsp;<a href="https://coffeepeople.vzf.ilo.org/">#CoffeePeople campaign</a>, which aims to promote and maintain safe and healthy working conditions within the global coffee supply chain.

How better data leads to better working lives

As Heads of State and Government gather at the UN General Assembly in New York to review the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the ILO World of Work Show will discuss where we stand on the 17 SDGs and what more needs to be done to achieve them. The show will also offer a sneak peek at the ILO’s soon to be launched campaign - “This Way to Social Justice - which aims to help combat inequalities for a greener, healthier and more sustainable future for all.

How tackling inequalities can help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals

2023 is the 25th anniversary of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, a historic commitment by governments, employers' and workers' organizations to uphold basic human values in our social and economic lives. At last year’s ILC the right to a safe and healthy working environment was declared as the fifth fundamental principle and right at work. So, the&nbsp;World of Work Show&nbsp;will explore what difference the Declaration has made to the working lives of women and men around the world and what more still needs to be done. The show will also wrap up the 111th International Labour Conference and discuss its achievements.&nbsp;

Labour Rights are Human Rights

The World of Work Summit will take place on June 14-15 around the central theme of “Social Justice for All”. Ahead of this high level forum, the ILO&nbsp;World of Work Show&nbsp;will offer a sneak peak of what is expected over the two days and will introduce some of the global figures who will attend. With domestic workers continuing to be one of the most overlooked categories of workers worldwide, we will also explore what more needs to be done to ensure they too have access to decent work and social justice.&nbsp;

How can we achieve Social Justice?

To mark World Day Against Child Labour, held every June 12, the ILO&nbsp;World of Work Show&nbsp;looks at what else needs to be done to protect the 160 million children worldwide who are in child labour – many in dangerous conditions. We will also explore the critical role of social protection in protecting workers and their families.&nbsp;

What’s the key to ending Child Labour?

Labour protection is at the core of social justice and decent work. But what does that mean exactly and are labour protection systems fit for purpose in a rapidly changing world of work? To explore this, the ILO World of Work Show will explore the role of labour protection at a time of multiple crises. Join us as well to look back at the first week of the 111th International Labour Conference.&nbsp;

Inclusive Labour Protection for All 

An essential part of the ILO’s supervisory system is the Committee on the Application of Standards. It provides the opportunity for representatives of governments, employers and workers to examine how ILO Member States uphold the International Labour Standards that they have ratified. As the ILC discusses the creation of a new international standard on apprenticeships, the World of Work Show will look at how labour standards are created, implemented, and their effect on working lives.&nbsp;

Labour standards, what are they and why do they matter?

Every year, representatives from Governments, Workers' and Employer's Organizations of the ILO Member States come together at the International Labour Conference. Often called the international parliament of labour, they discuss the latest challenges facing the world of work and propose solutions to overcome them. This episode of the ILO World of Work Show will focus on the conference, its aims and the issues on the agenda.&nbsp;

What’s at stake at the International Labour Conference? 

Many regions of the world are already breaking record temperatures. What is the impact of this heat on workers and economies, and what can we do to keep people safe and companies productive? The ILO World of Work Show will also mark International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia by exploring the current state of discrimination against LGBTIQ+ workers worldwide and what can be done to better include them in the world of work.

When is it too hot to work?

10 years ago this month, over 1130 Bangladeshi workers died and thousands more were injured when the Rana Plaza building collapsed. To this day, it remains one of the most brutal lessons about the importance of occupational safety and health. A decade on, what has been changed in the Bangladesh garment industry and the four million workers who depend on it? And has it affected global supply chains and the clothes we buy? 
 
We all have a right to go to work and come home alive, uninjured, and healthy. As we mark World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we explore the designation of "a safe and healthy working environment" as a fundamental principle and right at work. Watch the ILO World of Work Show to find out what this means for workers around the world.

The Rana Plaza collapse: Ten years on

As the historic UN Water Conference opens in New York, we find out why poor water and sanitation is holding back economies and societies. And, as it's now been three years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ILO World of Work Show explores why women were and continue to be disproportionately affected by the crisis.

The high stakes of water and work

This episode of the ILO World of Work show is focused on the World Day of Social Justice and explores the various ways in which the ILO is striving to ensure global momentum for a new social contract, one that puts people at the centre of national and global policymaking. This show highlights some of the pressing global challenges we face and how a Global Coalition for Social Justice could help address the issues that are leaving too many behind.

A Future with Social Justice

This episode of the ILO World of Work show looks at the new World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2023 Report. From employment growth to job quality, what can we expect from the year ahead? We will also explore the latest trends in working time around the world, including the effects on productivity, mental and physical health, and work-life balance.

Working Life, Working Time and the Work-Life Balance

This episode of the ILO World of Work show will focus on the role that social protection can take in supporting fundamental human rights. A role made all the more critical as the world of work enters a period of multiple and interconnected crises. In addition, we will take viewers to the 17th Asia and the Pacific Regional Meeting, currently taking place in Singapore, and explore the findings of the first ever global survey on experiences of violence and harassment at work.

The right to social protection

This episode of the ILO World of Work show will focus on the social dimension of climate change and how the ILO is keeping it at the forefront of discussions at the COP27 UN Climate Change Conference. Join our guests who will discuss how to achieve a just transition towards a greener economy that works for all women and men around the world.

The social dimension of climate change

This episode of the ILO World of Work show will focus how to put social justice at the centre of global economic and development policies. The new ILO Director-General, Gilbert F. Houngbo, has prioritized social justice in his mandate as a tool to rebuild the social and economic fabric which has been frayed by rising inequality, conflicts, and a lack of trust in the international system. Join our guests who will discuss how to increase social justice in practice, including through universal social protection, social dialogue and collective bargaining.

How to achieve social justice in the world of work

New season of the World of Work Show starts today at 16:00 CEST. This episode of the ILO's monthly live show will discuss latest estimates on modern slavery, the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions, to be presented at the UN General Assembly and the implications of the climate emergency for the world of work.

How to fight the rise of modern slavery

This episode focuses on the outcomes of the 110th International Labour Conference and will discuss what has been achieved and what more needs to be done.
