Decent work is a comprehensive concept expressing people’s aspirations for their working lives. This concept has had great legitimacy since it was proposed by the International Labour Organization, the United Nations agency for labour issues, which is the well-established institutional world forum for cooperation. Furthermore, decent work has joined various research subjects in labour-related disciplines, gaining a central role as a research subject and intervention compass. This paper aims to discuss the consequences of societies’ cultural complexity for decent work intervention. After highlighting previous research subjects in labour-related disciplines that are closely related to the decent work dimensions, the consequences of cultural complexity for intervention are pointed out. The tension between universal human values, cultural diversity and culture as an evolving social phenomenon is the trigger for proposing a balance expressed in several propositions concerning culture-sensitive intervention in decent work.

AbstractThis paper explores the role played by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in the consultations and stocktaking during 2017 and the negotiations during 2018 leading up to the adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). It examines selected parts of the text of the GCM, with particular reference to the ILO's mandate of securing social justice and decent work, as well as the protection of migrant workers and governance of labour migration. The final part of the paper looks ahead to the ILO's role in the implementation of the GCM, with specific reference to the Arab states region, where migration for employment is significant and the governance challenges, particularly in relation to the protection of low-wage and low-skilled workers, are especially acute.

The existence of domestic workers or better known as domestic workers is no stranger to the life of Indonesian society. Domestic worker is a job that provides services to a family to do homework such as cooking, cleaning house, washing clothes and others. However, because there is no regulation that regulates domestic workers maximally, and there are often different degrees between employers and workers, there is a lot of violence against domestic workers. In 2011, the International Labor Organization issued an ILO Convention No. 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers. This Convention as evidence that domestic workers need to be legally protected as human beings with human rights. Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that the act of ratification of ILO Convention No. 189 of 2011 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers needs to be done, in an effort to increase the protection of domestic workers' rights law, to increase the economy of domestic workers, and to raise the social status of domestic workers Indonesia. Abstrak Keberadaan pekerja rumah tangga atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai pembantu rumah tangga sudah tidak asing lagi dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia. Pekerja rumah tangga merupakan suatu pekerjaan yang memberikan jasa kepada suatu keluarga untuk mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah seperti memasak, membersihakan rumah, mencuci baju dan yang lainnya. Namun karena belum ada regulasi yang mengatur pekerja rumah tangga secara maksimal, dan sering terjadi perbedaan derajat antara majikan dan pekerja, maka banyak terjadi kekerasan terhadap pekerja rumah tangga. Pada tahun 2011, International Labour Organization mengeluarkan suatu Konvensi ILO Nomor 189 tentang Pekerjaan yang Layak bagi Pekerja Rumah Tangga. Konvensi ini sebagai bukti bahwa pekerja rumah tangga perlu mendapat perlindungan secara hukum sebagai manusia yang memiliki hak asasi manusia. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa tindakan ratifikasi Konvensi ILO Nomor 189 tahun 2011 tentang Pekerjaan yang Layak bagi Pekerja Rumah Tangga perlu dilakukan, sebagai upaya peningkatan perlindungan hukum hak-hak pekerja rumah tangga, peningkatkan ekonomi pekerja rumah tangga, serta menaikkan status sosial pekerja rumah tangga Indonesia.

This chapter turns to literature for insights on what it is like to be a research subject. Many creative writers look at research through the eyes of research subjects. They apply imagination and literary skills to bring the research world to life. Fictional accounts like White Noise and The Normals (novels about healthy volunteers in phase 1 drug studies), “Escape from Spiderhead” (a short story about research at a prison), and We Are Not Ourselves (a novel describing participation in an Alzheimer’s drug study) illuminate ethical dimensions of the human subject experience. Stories often portray researchers as untrustworthy individuals who manipulate subjects in pursuit of their research agendas, although some also include subjects who misbehave for their own ends. In some stories, flawed researchers become better people through their encounters with research subjects. Research professionals can learn from the fresh and vivid ways in which creative writers portray research experiences.

Nation states, networks and international organisations provide huge amounts of quantified information on all fields of international politics. This is done in an effort to regulate them. Besides the increase of numbers, recently, pictures emerge as visual practices of regulations. Parts of the political effort of the International Labour Organization (ILO) to abolish forced labour build a valuable example. The ILO publishes both estimates on forced labour and Global Reports. In addition, illustrated narrations on how a person is trapped in forced labour are provided at its website. Hence, the decent work discourse on regulating forced labour as a Core Labour Standard (CLS) no longer exclusively draws on texts, but increasingly includes image representations. Thus, the article asks how quantitative knowledge on forced labour is produced and visualised as a mode of regulative governance. In order to understand the content of the ILO’s discursive regulative governance, its strategic alignment and to infer on its possible strengths or weaknesses, discursive and pictographic practices are made accessible.

The economic crisis caused by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to serious long-term consequences for young people around the world, primarily because States have suspended funding for education and a large number of youth projects, and many children and adolescents have not been able to implement their plans for quality education and decent work. The international labour organization conducted a large-scale study on “Youth and COVID-19: impact on jobs, education, rights and mental well-being”, covering 112 countries and 120 thousand respondents. The article presents some results of this study, reflecting the situation in the youth labor market.

The purpose of this study is to find out how to adjust to adolescents who have to face the divorce of their parents, find out the impact of parental divorce for adolescents, and also understand how the psychological dynamics of the research subjects. The subjects in this study were two adolescents who fulfilled the predetermined research subject criteria, namely facing divorce from parents and taken with a purposive sampling technique. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological method. The results of this study indicate that all research subjects develop poor relationships outside the home, difficulty in getting along due to hampered social adjustment. Divorce of parents also raises a lot of anxiety and frustration in adolescents and reduce academic achievement in school. In addition, divorce that occurs in parents also makes children build feelings of being hurt, neglected, and betrayed by their parents. However, there seems to be a quite striking difference regarding the development of adjustment that occurs in each subject. One subject showed a better adjustment. This condition seems influenced by his ability to apply coping stress appropriately, namely trying to accept the divorce of parents and not thinking about the divorce (emotional focused coping). In addition, the parents of the subject also did not show conflict in front of their children despite the divorce. Keywords: Adjusment, Divorce of Parent, Adults   Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan bagaimana penyesuaian diri pada remaja yang harus menghadapi perceraian orang tuanya, mengetahui dampak dari perceraian orang tua bagi remaja, dan juga memahami bagaimana dinamika psikologis dari para subjek penelitian. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah dua remaja yang memenuhi kriteria subjek penelitian yang telah ditentukan yaitu menghadapi perceraian orang tua dan diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif fenomenologi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa seluruh subjek penelitian mengembangkan hubungan yang buruk di luar rumah, kesulitan bergaul karena penyesuaian sosial yang terhambat. Perceraian orang tua juga memunculkan banyak kecemasan dan frustrasi pada diri remaja serta menurunkan prestasi akademik di sekolah. Selain itu, Perceraian yang terjadi pada orang tua juga membuat anak membangun perasaan telah disakiti, diabaikan, dan dikhianati oleh orang tua mereka. Namun demikian, tampak adanya perbedaan yang cukup mencolok mengenai perkembangan penyesuaian diri yang terjadi pada tiap subjek. Salah satu subjek memperlihatkan adanya penyesuaian diri yang lebih baik. Kondisi tersebut tampaknya dipengaruhi oleh kemampuannya menerapkan coping stress yang tepat yaitu berusaha menerima perceraian orang tua dan tidak memikirkan perceraian tersebut (emotional focused coping). Selain itu, kedua orang tua subjek tersebut juga tidak memperlihatkan konflik di hadapan anak mereka meskipun telah terjadi perceraian.   Kata Kunci: Penyesuaian Diri, Perceraian Orang tua, Remaja.

Throughout the 20th century, the International Labour Organization (‘ILO’) has played a significant and successful role in the international advancement of social justice. However, in the past 10–15 years the impact of the organization has decreased. Its legislative machinery seems to have come to a standstill. Hardly any influential modern legal instruments have been developed in these years. The ILO’s monitoring system via the Committee of Experts is in danger to be weakened, mainly due to questions from within the organization. The boat that passed by flying the corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) flag, has been missed. A powerful and unanimous signal, for instance by adopting a Framework Convention on Decent Work, is necessary if the organization is to survive in the 21st century.
