ILO to launch new report

The International Labour Office (ILO) is to launch a new report entitled Equality at work: The continuing challenge, on May 16, providing a comprehensive overview of the state of discrimination in the world of work in the wake of the global financial and economic crisis, and offering recommendations for future action by the ILO and its constituents.

The report is part of a series of annual ILO studies on core labour standards and was prepared under the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

The four fundamental principles are freedom of association, the elimination of child labour, the elimination of forced labour and discrimination.
