Guest Lecture on ILO’s Decent Work Agenda in Sri Lanka
For a society’s sustainable economic development and well-being, it is crucial that economic growth generates not just any kind of job but ‘decent’ jobs. This means that work should deliver fair income, workplace security and social protection, and allow flexibility of working arrangements and hours.
To deliver a sound understanding about the Decent Work, a workshop on ILO’s Decent Work Agenda in Sri Lanka organized by the Department of Business Economics was successfully held on Thursday, 02nd December, 2021 from 3.00 P.M. onwards, virtually via zoom platform.
Mr. Balasingham Skanthakumar (Member and Co-director of Social Scientists’ Association, Founding Director of Himal Southasian (2017-2020), Senior Program Officer at International Labour Organisation – ILO Country Office Sri Lanka and Maldives) was participated as the key Guest speaker for this online workshop. The event was organized as a part of the Course Unit BEC 3347: Labour Economics subject offered by the Department of Business Economics. The main purpose of this webinar was to deliver a sound understanding to the students about the current labour market in Sri Lanka.
