📽️ IOE @ ILO: Akustina Morni on policy and the International Labour Conference (ILC)
What does it take to shape global labour standards? From intense late-night negotiations to finding consensus among Employers, Workers, and Governments, IOE's Director of Policy @AkustinaM has seen it all.
As the @ilo tackles issues like #AI, #skills, #climate, and #informality, #employer perspectives—especially from #SMEs—need to be at the table. That's where IOE steps in: backing business with policy expertise, strategic support, and a seat in the room where it happens.

.@crihere's article 'All you need to know about #Bangladesh’s #LabourStandards' takes a look at the country's legal and #policy #framework and key Institutions.
Bangladesh has registered spectacular #economic progress over the last five decades. The #GDPGrowth rate reached an impressive record level in the latest decade. The growth has been inclusive with major socio-#economic and human indices accompanying the growth. Bangladesh became notable in #SouthAsia for its successful #export-led #development model. A large and diverse workforce is one of the drivers of the success.
A shift from #agriculture to #manufacturing and services has resulted in large-scale #employment in the formal and informal sectors. There are some four million workers employed in the clothing sector alone. In case of Bangladesh, economic opportunities need to be complemented with decent work environments and #LabourRights.
Bangladesh’s government has been focusing on decent working #environment in industrial establishments, eliminating child labor and creating a #skilled workforce. The government, in cooperation with the development partners, is implementing a reform to upgrade the labour right situation in the country.
Following are some policy and institutional measures to ensure #WorkersRights:
Legal and policy framework
International Labour Organization (@ilo) Conventions
Bangladesh has ratified all the eight #ILO core conventions since the country. Given a progressive agenda, the #policymakers have been committed to align the rules and policies with international labour standards.
#LabourAct
Bangladesh passed its Labour Act, in 2006. The act was amended in 2018. The act identifies details of labour recruitment process, labour-employer relationships, minimum wages, wage payment, incidental costs, occupational hazards, collective bargaining, dispute resolution and workplace environment. In the 2018 amendment labour rights were expanded. It brought tangible changes on the guarantee of financial benefits to new mothers. It also gives the right to any worker to freely join trade unions.
#LabourLaw
Bangladesh government has introduced the Bangladesh Labour Rules 2015 on September 15, 2015. The #LabourRules makes it mandatory that the appointment letter must contain certain information such as salary, other financial benefits, applicable rules etc. The rules prescribe certain forms for various register such as service book, labour register, leave register, etc. provide detailed guidelines regarding provident fund. New additions include provisions related to selection of nominee, management of the fund, activities of the trust for managing provident fund.
#LabourPolicy
Bangladesh formulated its latest ‘Labour Policy’ in 2012. The previous labour policy was formulated in 1980. The principal objective of the policy is to ensure a productive, non-discriminatory, non-exploitative and healthy work environment for all active citizens. The policy is essentially a framework for addressing labour-related issues such as labour rights and welfare. It determines minimum wages and reviews wage-levels. The policy also emphasizes on decent work, workers’ rights, labour dignity and their bargaining abilities.
#ChildLabourEliminationPolicy
Bangladesh formulated its ‘National Child Labour Elimination Policy’ in 2010. The policy was formed to address the malaise of child labour and to protect children from risky jobs. It targets the elimination of risky #ChildLabour in the country by 2021, and all types of child labour by 2025. It is also aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and other treaty-commitments like the @UN charter on #ChildRights.
