A global common denominator is the need for a decent job. The economic realities of each country determine just how difficult it is to find one. Despite the labour movement's achievements, serious challenges persist: gender discrimination, child labour, worker migration, the digital divide, evaporating pensions, unsafe workplaces, corporate pressure against union organising, negative impacts of trade agreements, and the precariousness of informal employment, among many others. IPS follows the world's workers as they confront these challenges - their setbacks and their successes. PLEASE CONTINUE !
