Position Paper from Workers’ Organizations in the Informal Economy on: Achieving a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all, prepared for the 111th Session of the International Labour Conference
International networks of workers in the informal economy and WIEGO welcome the ILO report on Achieving a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all, prepared for the International Labour Conference’s 111th Session.
In this position paper, WIEGO and four global networks of workers in informal employment including HomeNet International, the International Alliance of Waste Pickers, the International Domestic Workers Federation and StreetNet International propose ways in which a just transition framework can be more inclusive to ensure decent work and social cohesion.
For the ILO, and for us, a just transition means greening the economy in a way that is fair and inclusive, creating decent work opportunities, and leaving no one behind. To fulfil this commitment, workers in informal employment – more than two billion workers who make up 61% of the global labour force – must be included.
