    The International Labour Organization (ILO) will mark International Day of Care and Support 2024 by spotlighting the Resolution concerning Decent Work and the Care Economy, adopted by the ILO International Labour Conference in June 2024.

    This webinar, organized by the ILO, will feature tripartite constituents (Government, employers’ and workers’ organizations) and an ILO representative – who will share their insights on implementing the Resolution. It promises to be an engaging discussion on how we can promote decent work in the care economy globally.

    Let us mark this significant day together as we discuss how to implement this new Resolution.
