Organizing for Decent Work in the Informal Economy-Strategies, Methods and Practices

The publication identifies organizing as a method to raise the consciousness of informal economy workers through education, advocacy, vocational training, campaigning and networking.
Organizing is also viewed as a method of increasing the organizational strength of trade unions by recruiting new members. Therefore, “organizing the unorganized” is a means of realizing the ILO’s decent work agenda, which promotes rights at work, full employment, adequate social protection and social dialogue.
This publication is a useful tool for all ILO constituents, but particularly, for trade unions worldwide that would like to learn lessons from the experience of other unions in South Asia.
