[full-text, 37 pages]
The year 2004 is the 10th Anniversary of the Year of the Family and, thus, an appropriate occasion for the ILO to highlight the problems of workers with family responsibilities and the relevance of the Convention on Workers with Family Responsibilities, 1981 (No. 156). Based on in-depth interviews of workers in Botswana, Honduras, Mexico, Russia, the United States and Vietnam, this paper shows by concrete examples how family responsibilities are affecting their ability to get jobs, keep jobs and earn a decent living.
