ILO calls for reforms to improve the quality of life of employees without a fixed contract – HSB News

The International Labour Organization (ILO) requested the countries to the adoption of legislative reforms to improve the quality of the so-called "atypical employment".

the UN agency made this call during the launch this Monday in Geneva of a report on the challenges and prospects associated with such jobs.

these jobs that are not fixed and full-time. job insecurity is greater and the wages, it is almost always low.

The deputy director-general of ILO policies, Deborah Greenfield, explained that the study reports an increase of this type of employment, and explains their impact on the societies of today.

Between those jobs, he mentioned the temporary positions, part-time, agency work, subcontracting, self-employed and dependent employment relationships "ambiguous".

The analysis of trends in atypical employment are based on economic data and legal collected over two decades and offers several recommendations on how to manage this type of work, both in rich countries and in development, to achieve a balance between the needs of workers, businesses and Governments.

"The report illustrates how the

growth of this type of employment has been motivated by changes in the economy, as the expansion of the global supply chain, the greater importance of services in the global economy, and the technological changes, social and demographic", he said.

on the other hand, he added that another fundamental cause has been the regulation, which in some cases has created incentives for the use of this kind of jobs, especially when the rights and benefits are inferior to those enjoyed by workers with regular contracts.

The report recommends to fill regulatory gaps, strengthening collective bargaining and social protection, as well as adopting social and labour policies that support the creation of jobs for the benefit of the employees.
