- ILO Decent Work Agenda promoting better working conditions and employment terms; the willingness of tripartite constituencies to collaborate on formalization agenda.
- context:
- Need for buy-ins from the employers is critical for the success of any voluntary code of conduct.
- description:
- The adoption of voluntary code of conduct requires buy-ins from all relevant stakeholders. In India, employers’ organizations are in the process of coming up with their voluntary code of conduct. It would have been helpful to include public enterprises and municipalities since they are the biggest employers of casual workers. Likewise, it would have helped to include representations from trade unions. This by no means imply replacement of regulatory framework and social dialogue.
- administrative_issues:
- Resource availability and need for commitment of staff to remain engaged with the governments and industries.
