A global common denominator is the need for a decent
job. The economic realities of each country determine just
how difficult it is to find one. Despite the labour movement's
achievements, serious challenges persist: gender discrimination,
child labour, worker migration, the digital divide, evaporating
pensions, unsafe workplaces, corporate pressure against union
organising, negative impacts of trade agreements, and the
precariousness of informal employment, among many others.
IPS follows the world's workers as they confront these challenges
- their setbacks and their successes. |
