Preferred term

labor standards  

Definition

  • Labor standards are multidimensional and vary from country to country depending on national institutions, economic interests, income level, stages of development, openness to trade, and economic, social, political, and cultural conditions. International labor standards refer to those labor principles, norms, conventions, and recommendations that do not depend on national circumstances, and that are intended to be universally applied.
