Decent work is the foundation of a decent life.

We are strengthening our efforts to promote #DecentWork worldwide by:

🔹 setting out a strategy with new and existing tools;
🔹 preparing a new legislation to ban products made by forced labour from entering the EU.

#SocialRights
Around the world:
🌐 160 million children are in child labour, and
🌐 24.9 million people are in a situation of forced labour.

These practices must stop.

The elimination of child labour and forced labour is at the heart of our strategy for decent work worldwide.

#SocialRights
Many workers worldwide still see their labour and social rights threatened daily.

We will reinforce our actions to change this situation, guided by the 4️⃣ elements of the universal concept of decent work. ↓
