Bringing together contributions from over 60 leading labour scholars, this Companion critically investigates the ILO's Decent Work Agenda and how it links to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Chapters look ahead to the future of labour trends and address a range of perspectives, including viewpoints from political science, economics, sociology and law. A comprehensive analysis of the decent work deficit is provided, along with an examination of the global labour market. Ultimately, the Companion discusses pressing issues such as ecological crises and the growing effect of the gig economy and automation on the changing nature of work, addressing the gap between aspirations and the reality of the global labour market.
This prescient Companion is vital for students and scholars of labour studies, economics, international relations and law. Offering an important overview of the history of the Decent Work Agenda, it is also beneficial to practitioners and policy advocates.
Industry Reviews
'The Decent Work Agenda may be utopian but in taking it seriously this compendium of working conditions from all over the world demonstrates just how ever more deeply entrenched is indecent work and how the only way forward lies in the collaborative might of labor.' -- Michael Burawoy, The University of California, Berkeley, US
'Christoph Scherrer, Madelaine Moore and Marcel van der Linden have compiled a deep, global, and critical look at the ILO's concept of "decent work" that will be a major resource for academics, policymakers, and trade union activists alike. Some 50 essays examine the limits of ILO enforcement and multiple barriers to "decent work" across the globe, including free trade, climate change, and corporate aggression, but also the means to achieve it "from below" through the rights to organize, bargain, and strike.' -- Kim Moody, University of Westminster, UK
'The mid-term review of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals is sobering. Most of the goals that the United Nations has set itself for 2030 can probably no longer be achieved. Core goals such as combating climate change, eradicating poverty and hunger and reducing social inequalities have even been set back in many regions of the world. It is therefore all the more important that a scientifically grounded handbook addresses the close connection between decent work and the SDGs. The editors have succeeded in producing a great, multifaceted volume that opens up a view of the major challenges facing the world of work in the 21st century.' -- Klaus Doerre, University of Jena, Germany
