RIPESS about the Decent Work and the Social and Solidarity Economy recommendations adopted by the International Labor Conference 2022
Summary :
On June 10, 2022, the International Labor Conference (ILC) adopted a resolution on Decent Work and the Social and Solidarity Economy.
RIPESS welcomed the decision by the Governing body of the International Labour Organisation in of March 2021 to hold a General Discussion on Decent Work and the Social and Social Economy for ILC 2022. We did so in the current global situation of multiple crises, (Covid-19, wars, environment, food and finance combined) to show that SSE is truly a concept whose time has come. The neoliberal long supply chains and disrespect for people and planet are in sharp contrast to the human-rights-based logic of SSE. Which clearly explains why and increasing number of people, including within the UN system are considering the importance and relevance of SSE as an overall economic paradigm and alternative to capitalism, albeit with significant push-back from the multinational corporations who have a strong foothold within the UN system.
