The International Labour Organisation (ILO) will hold its Thirteenth Asian Regional Meeting in Bangkok from 28 to 31 August. The meeting will seek to establish new policies and projects for promoting decent work in the region as a key to reducing poverty, restoring economies and providing a viable and productive response to the challenges of globalisation and the aftermath of the Asian Financial crisis, as new economic difficulties loom in the region. The ILO’s Asian Region meets every four years. Its last gathering was overshadowed by the Asian financial crisis. The Asian Regional Meeting will discuss a new ILO report entitled “Decent Work in Asia”, which contains an analysis of the labour market, social protection and employment situation in the Asian region and provides suggestions for tackling the deficit in decent work. The decent work deficit is described as “the absence of sufficient employment opportunities, inadequate social protection, the denial of right to work and shortcomings in social dialogue.”
