Labour Law E-Academy: Effective labour regulation for development
15 Junho–6 Julho 2022
Apresentação do curso
Effective labour regulation is fundamental to development and to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Labour is at the heart of human, economic and social development. Striking the right balance in labour regulation is therefore critical. The Academy's programme provides the theoretical and practical knowledge required to develop effective labour regulation for development. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on economic, human-rights and legal perspectives on labour regulation. Particular emphasis is placed on how labour regulation can be effective for vulnerable groups in the labour market, and on the impact of COVID-19 on labour regulation. The Academy will provide a global forum for learning from high-level international experts, discussing and sharing experience with practitioners, and testing practical approaches and innovative methodologies. During the three weeks, participants will come together in plenary sessions, participate in a wide range of hands-on elective thematic track sessions, and experience-sharing sessions. To encourage learning through active participation, plenty of space is devoted to case studies, role-plays and guided group discussions.
