Friday February 25, 2022 | 11am - 12.15pm CET
Can working conditions in garment factories in Indonesia and Ethiopia be improved? The results of two Decent Work projects undertaken since 2018 indeed prove so. On February 25, 2022, from 11am until 12.15pm CET, WageIndicator organizes an online OECD Forum side session on these projects. Learn how survey outcomes lead to better working conditions and the creation of collective agreements.
On the Decent Work projects
Improvements are based on workers’ responses to the face-to-face Decent Work survey. Project teams discuss the outcomes with factory management. Implementation is measured through follow-up surveys and results, such as better working conditions and concluding Collective Bargaining Agreements in factories, are published online, if management agrees. A data academy has been developed to teach workers and trade unionists how to use the data.
About the session
The session will be moderated by the coordinator of both projects: Paulien Osse. The two country-based project coordinators will then present their results: Nadia Pralitasari together with Andriko Otang from TURC, and Daniela Ceccon together with Ethiopian team leaders Eyuel Mekonnen and Gashaw Tesfa. Two researchers will deepen the data regarding the garment supply chain and the survey outcomes: Maarten van Klaveren and Kea Tijdens.
