The Committee is aware that the concept of work and workers has evolved from the time of drafting of the Covenant to include new categories, such as self-employed workers, workers in the informal economy, agricultural workers, refugee workers and unpaid workers. Following up on general comment No. 18 on the right to work, and benefiting from its experience in the consideration of reports of States parties, the present general comment has been drafted by the Committee with the aim of contributing to the full implementation of article 7 of the Covenant.
