The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched a new Core Labour Standards Handbook in collaboration with the ILO to help the bank raise awareness on labour standards and set guidelines for operational activities, resulting in increased social responsibility, sustainability and reduced vulnerability. The handbook was launched recently by the ADB at an event involving ILO social partners in the Philippines, as well as civil society organisations. The handbook is the culmination of ADB and ILO collaboration in areas including joint labour market assessments, development of knowledge bases on social protection, and research on labour and social protection issues.
