Website of the 110th International Labour Conference

The International Labour Conference (ILC) sets the international labour standards and the broad policies of the ILO. It meets annually in Geneva. Often called an international parliament of labour, the Conference is also a forum for discussion of key social and labour questions. Each member State is represented by government's, employers' and workers' delegates. This year, occupational safety and health, apprenticeships, as well as the social and solidarity economy are among the items on the agenda of the Conference.

The opening sitting of the 110th International Labour Conference will elect the Conference President and Vice-Presidents, adopt the operational arrangements for the conduct of the Conference and the constitution of committees. It will also hear the opening addresses of the President of the Conference, the Employers’ group and Workers’ Group Chairpersons as well as the opening statement by the ILO Director-General and the presentation by the Chairperson of the Governing Body of her report.

Opening of the 110th International Labour Conference

High-level event organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO) during the 110th Session of the International Labour Conference, with the support of Alliance 8.7 and the Global Partnership for Universal Social Protection (USP2030). The discussion will focus on the ILO/UNICEF report on social protection and child labour, released at the 5th Global Conference on Child Labour in May 2022. This report demonstrates that a majority of studies on the links between social protection and child labour have identified a child labour reduction effect.

There are approximately 73 million unemployed youth globally. Even in the best of times, young people face a tough situation in the labour market. In this episode of the World of Work Show, we discuss how to meet the challenges of youth employment with Sara Elder, Head of Employment Analyses &amp; Economic Policies Unit of the ILO. Also, Sukti Dasgupta, director of the Department on Conditions of Work and Equality (WORKQUALITY) talks about the recent ILO/Fundación ONCE report about how people with disabilities can seize job opportunities in the ecological transition. And Katie McQue, one of the winners of the 2022 ILO Global Media Competition on Labour Migration, explains how balanced and ethical reporting can contribute to address stereotypes and misconceptions about migrant workers.&nbsp;
