ILO Work Wise Youth: A guide to youth rights at work

The webinar will feature an interactive and inter-generational dialogue on the importance of promoting youth rights at work for individuals, businesses and societies, and launch the International Labour Organization (ILO)’s “Work Wise Youth: A guide to youth rights at work”. The guide is intended to support ILO constituents and other stakeholders in their initiatives aimed at raising young people’s awareness of their rights at work, with a focus on those in forced displacement contexts.

Objectives:

• Foster knowledge and awareness of the international labour standards and fundamental rights under the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work that lay down important provisions on the working conditions of young workers, including forcibly displaced youth, such as social protection entitlements, occupational safety and health, among others;
• Facilitate a dialogue among young people representing employers, workers and refugee communities about the importance of promoting youth rights at work for individuals, businesses and societies at large; and
• Launch Work Wise Youth: A guide to youth rights at work; a reference framework for facilitators to support them in delivering training for young people to raise their awareness on their rights at work, social protection entitlements and fair conditions of work.
