The International Labor Organization Definition of 'Decent Work': Implications for the Well-Being of Families in the Philippines

Abstract : An Action Program for Decent Work was launched in the Philippines in May, 2002, by the International Labour Organization (ILO). Conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity are foundational to the performance of decent work. Poverty alleviation and sustainable growth in an increasingly globalised economy, are viewed by the ILO as integral to the decent work concept. The wellbeing of individuals and their families is intrinsically linked to their capacity to earn an adequate income to meet their basic needs of food, a safe and secure water supply, shelter and clothing. This paper analyses the notion of 'decent work' according to the ILO definition, and focuses on two aspects of work in the Philippines for their impacts on individual and family wellbeing: Overseas Filipino Workers; and Child Labour.
