Policy Target
Employment and labour market
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Government units develop or revise a regulatory framework to guarantee and enforce human rights, social and labour protections, and benefits to all workers with a particular focus on low-wage, precarious contracts (e.g., part-time work) and populations who are typically overrepresented in these groups (e.g., people with less education, people who experience disability).
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of minimum wage workers
- Remuneration trends among low-wage workers (e.g., those working in agricultural sector, cleaning services, or hospitality industry)
- Nominal values of minimum wage(s)
- Number/percentage of people working in precarious, unsafe work conditions (e.g., disadvantaged groups)
- Availability of mechanisms to denounce abusive, exploitative work conditions
- Easy access to mechanisms to denounce abusive, exploitative work conditions
- Number of enforcement actions over time
- Number of regular on-site inspections
- Availability of anonymous surveys for workers about working conditions
- Availability of anonymized data sharing mechanisms to provide evidence supporting employment stability actions
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Government units ensure all workers in public and private sectors have access to pension plans, insurance benefits, and leave provisions. Transparency, accessibility, and regular disclosure of public sector compensation packages support private sector workers in their bargaining negotiations.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Ratio of private sector workers who are members of a union to that of the
public sector - Level of transparency of public sector compensation packages
- Trends of non-wage benefits (e.g., coverage) in the private sector
- Inequalities in non-wage benefits between public and private sector workers
