ICA applauds ILO’s stress on human-centered agenda
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lauding the ILO Global Commission’s report on the Future of Work made public recently President of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), Ariel Guarco, said the Commission’s report recognizes that business models must be aligned to a human-centred agenda, and this is exactly what the cooperative business model provides by putting people before profit.

The ICA president has also underlined the fact that cooperatives enable communities to own and govern joint economic tools to solve their most central needs (production, employment, housing, health, education, credit, insurance, etc.) through democratic ownership and participation, thus generating inclusive and sustainable growth, and leaving no one behind, says an ICA press release.

The ICA welcomes the call on governments to commit to a human-centred agenda and the implementation of the Universal Labour Guarantee that protects fundamental workers’ rights, secures an adequate living wage, and safeguards workplaces promoting equality. The cooperative movement has already committed to them through the ILO Promotion of Cooperatives Recommendation, 2002 (no. 193) and through recently approving the ICA Declaration on Decent Work and Against Harassment, in which the ICA commits itself to “respect, promote, and act diligently to support the fundamental tenets of decent work.

Moreover, the ICA appreciates the fact that in line with the ILO Promotion of Cooperatives Recommendation, 2002 (no. 193) and the ILO Transition from Informal to Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (no. 204), the Commission’s report further reiterates how workers in the informal economy “have often improved their situation through organising, working together with cooperatives and community-based organisations”.

Through cooperatives, self-employed workers, producers, and entrepreneurs in the informal economy can transition from the informal to the formal economy and, therefore, considerably raise their income and competitiveness by accessing services which were not available to them due to the small size of their business and lack of applicable formal arrangements.

As a global actor that employs almost 10% of the total world employed population, the ICA calls on all ILO constituents to recognise the key role of cooperatives in achieving a decent, human-centred working agenda within the proposed Declaration on the Future of Work and more specifically to:

Recommend that national governments fully implement the cooperative promotion policies that are enshrined in the ILO Promotion of Cooperatives Recommendation, 2002 (no. 193);

Recognise that cooperatives make up a considerable proportion of world employment (around 10%) whilst creating decent and stable work and collective wealth, both in urban and rural areas;

Recognise the inclusive and democratic nature of cooperatives in alleviating poverty especially amongst vulnerable groups, in particular women and young people;

Recommend strong collaboration, dialogue and alliances between trade unions and cooperatives to increase workers’ representation in the rural and informal economies given the major digital, environmental, and demographic changes causing profound changes for employees and employers;

Recommend that the ILO cooperates with the ICA (SDG 17) in helping cooperatives implement the ILO’s Decent Work agenda and the UN SDG8.

The report is the culmination of a 15-month examination by the 27-members of the ILO Global Commission on the Future of Work, made up of leading figures from business and labour spheres, think tanks, academia, government, and non-governmental organizations.
