Minimum Labour Standards and Their Enforcement (Symposium‪)‬

Preface Minimum labour standards are the outcome of state regulation that provides social protection in the form of a floor for working and employment conditions. They provide the most disadvantaged and vulnerable with a modicum of security at work and in living standards and are thus indicative of a broader societal commitment to fairer outcomes and processes in the labour market. Their achievement has often come only after sustained political and social mobilisations, at times intersecting with broader democratic and social struggles during modernisation and industrialisation.
