ILO launches global commission on the future of work

The ceremony was attended by two serving Heads of State or Government co-chairing the commission: President of Mauritius Ameenah Gurib-Fakim and Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Löfven.

In her address, Gurib-Fakim strongly encouraged “all countries and stakeholders to come up with comprehensive recommendations and novel ideas on how to address the opportunities and challenges of the future of work. We can accomplish this by ‘putting people first’, by recognising that labour is more than simply a commodity in the labour market in the spirit of the ILO Constitution, or even just a factor of production.”
