The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 64
Paragraph
Paragraph text
States parties must also provide aspects of the right to just and favourable conditions of work when workers are unable to realize the right themselves. They have a role in creating an enabling labour market environment and should, for example, adapt the workplace and equipment for persons with disabilities in the public sector and provide incentives for the private sector to do so. States could establish non-contributory social security programmes for certain workers, such as workers in the informal economy, to provide benefits and protection against accidents and disease at work.
