ILO global labour convention aims to improve conditions for millions working via Nepal’s digital platforms

The new international labour standard seeks to guarantee fair wages, social protection, workplace safety and collective bargaining rights for platform workers, offering Nepal a roadmap to regulate its rapidly growing gig economy.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has called on its member states to guarantee fundamental rights at work in the platform economy, including freedom of association and collective bargaining, protection from discrimination, the elimination of forced and child labour, minimum wage protection, and safe and healthy working conditions.
