Abstract

The protection of workers is one of the core objectives of the International Labour Organization, fundamental objective of the Decent Work Agenda and target set by the United Nations in its new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. National policies should aim to ensure that all workers in an employment relationship receive adequate protection of the law. This article discusses the relevance of the employment relationship as a means of providing legal protection to workers, why lack of labor protection aggravates inequalities of vulnerable groups and what specific policies countries must apply to effectively address the gender dimension.
