Summary: 

The Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) 2019 - 2021 was developed through intensive consultations between the ILO and its national constituents. It set out the three Country Priorities, which are

  1. Promote an enabling environment for the growth of decent and productive employment;
  2. Strengthen labour protection, especially vulnerable workers; and
  3. Strengthen labour market governance in line with international labour standards. 

Thailand has taken a number of measures to protect vulnerable groups, including migrant workers and workers in the informal sector. The country’s pledge to reduce unacceptable forms of work, especially child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking, is prioritized by all national constituents. Strengthening occupational safety and health as well as labour inspection to improve working conditions is also vital to ensuring that Thailand meets its decent work commitments.
