Abstract
This ILO brief focuses on addressing megatrends and policy developments that are reshaping the global labor landscape. The publication highlights the International Labour Organization's (ILO) efforts to promote decent work and social justice through sectoral social dialogue, involving employers, workers, and governments. It discusses key drivers of change such as demographic shifts, climate change, technological advances, and globalization, and their impact on labor markets and supply chains. The brief emphasizes the importance of strong institutions and inclusive social dialogue mechanisms in navigating these challenges. It also outlines the role of international labor standards and policy instruments, such as free trade agreements and corporate sustainability due diligence, in advancing decent work. The brief aims to enhance the knowledge and capacity of European sectoral social partners to promote resilient, inclusive, and sustainable sectors and supply chains.
