About the Conference
This high-level event, organised in partnership with the Open Society Foundations, will focus on the critical role of essential workers in supporting economies, societies and businesses. It will bring together international organisations, governments, business leaders and worker representatives to discuss practical changes to improve the working lives of both formal and informal essential workers.
The conference offers an opportunity for policy makers and stakeholders to engage and to find solutions together, highlighting examples of practices that have been shown to work during the pandemic, but that need to be sustained in the longer term. This includes measures to secure fair and decent working conditions, to access social protection, to improve health and safety at the workplace and to end work-related violence and harassment.
