Launch of the Labour Rights Index 2024
The Labour Rights Index (LRI), first launched in 2020, is a de jure index comparing labour legislation worldwide. Released biennially, the third edition of the Labour Rights Index will be launched on the 5th of November at the Central European University in Vienna. In case you are unable to join us in-person, you can join us online on Zoom.
You can register for the event here and indicate if you'll join us online or in-person:
The Labour Rights Index 2024 updates our comprehensive analysis of global labour legislation and its alignment with international human rights frameworks and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also expands the scope of the Labour Rights Index to 145 countries (from 135 countries in 2022) that are home to approximately 90% of the global workforce, enhancing our understanding of labour rights across diverse regions.
You can access the 2020 and 2022 Labour Rights Indexes at https://labourrightsindex.org/.
