International Webinar on Labour Law Enforcement: Challenges and Remedies
On 30-31 March 2024

About the Webinar:
There is no dearth of Labour Laws to protect workers in organized and unorganized sectors across the globe. However, there is a dearth of quality administration, governance, and enforcement of
Labour laws meant to protect workers in one form or another. The State Agencies created by the governments for Labour law governance and enforcement are also reluctant to enforce Labour law
in their respective jurisdiction. Liberalisation, Privatisation and globalization, up to some extent, are also responsible for diluting the enforcement of Labour law for the promotion of trade and business by ignoring the sustainable development of all the stakeholders involved in the production, distribution, or supply of goods and services in all the sectors across the globe. Workers' associations or Unions have also failed to ensure strict compliance with Labour laws.
