Decent Work is needed to build fair and inclusive societies. Decent Work is about:

• Equal access to employment without discrimination.
• A living wage for workers to allow them and their families to live with dignity.
• Social protection in case of illness, pregnancy or the normal ups and downs which most of us face in life.
• Being free from exploitation.
• Allowing people to organise themselves to represent their interests collectively through trade unions and engage in genuine dialogue as citizens and workers.
