The seminar presentations will be given by experts and practitioners on contemporary issues in labour studies and these will inform the issues to be discussed in students’ term papers.
The course will examine the theory of public policy formulation as well as policy making, implementation and evaluation within the public sphere in general and within the sphere of labour in particular. The course will also focus on the different approaches to policy formulation and implications for labour. Topics such as labour policy implementation, labour organisational development, strategic planning as well as resource assessment and prioritisation will be treated as well.
This course will expose students to the evolution of labour legislation and the role of labour laws and international labour standards (ILS) as a tool for social protection and leverage for advancing the interest of workers in the world of work. It will cover the ILS’s response to a growing number of workers needs and challenges in a globalised world of work, as well as the general features and systems for monitoring adherence to standards application.
