“…For example, organizational intervention projects aimed at stress reduction include changes in the job or work role, as well as replacing managers (Pignata, Boyd, Winefield, & Provis, 2017). Concerning public policy intervention, Dammert, de Hoop, Mvukiyehe and Rosati (2018) synthesize the effect of public policy on decreasing child labour. They found, for instance, that public policy programmes addressing child labour are effective when the vulnerability of households is reduced.…”

Decent work expressing universal values and respecting cultural diversity: propositions for intervention Autor(es): Santos, Nuno Rebelo dos Publicado por: Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra URL persistente: URI:http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/47199Abstract 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. Trabalho digno expressando valores universais e respeitando diversidade cultural: Proposições para a intervenção ResumoTrabalho digno é um conceito abrangente que expressa as aspirações das pessoas para a sua vida profissional. Este conceito tem tido elevada legitimidade na medida em que foi proposto pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho, a agência da Organização das Nações Unidas para as questões laborais, que é o fórum mundial institucional mais bem estabelecido para a cooperação. Além disso, o trabalho digno agregou diversos temas de investigação das várias disciplinas que abordam as questões laborais, assumindo assim um papel central como objeto de investigação e como bússola orient...

“…This is reinforced by studies conducted by several Indonesian young scholars and overseas scholars regarding work discipline. The results of research conducted by [2]- [4] concerning the relationship between teacher's work discipline and teacher performance indicate that there is a partial and simultaneous positive correlation between work discipline and teacher performance. Another study related to work discipline and employee performance improvement was carried out by [5]- [7] who investigated the influence of discipline on employee performance.…”

“…Indeed, there are no easy "silver bullets" for addressing child labor, and even anti-child labor policies can simply push the problem more to the margins, leading to more undocumented cases in unregulated areas of the informal workforce at greater risk to children. Indeed, adverse outcomes were detected in evaluations of microcredit, school participation and business training interventions, all of which increased children's participation in household income generation in specific contexts 6,7,8 .…”

Child labor is a social and human tragedy. More than an inequity, it is a matter of injustice. Working during childhood deprives a vulnerable group, dependent on protection to survive, from fundamental human and social rights. The cruelty underlying child labor goes far beyond children's present. It affects their entire life course, compromises their own future and upcoming generations through a vicious persistent circle. Child labor also affects physical, psychological and social development, a result of limited access to school, family interactions, contact with other children, and even the right to be protected, to play, to dream and, above all, to be happy. Child labor is a symptom of much deeper underlying societal problems including poverty, marginalization, lack of decent employment opportunities for poor parents, and is often a consequence of family dysfunction, domestic violence and exposure to other forms of social violence. Impeded to be fully educated and facing long-lasting health problems 1 , working children will face difficulties during adolescence and adult life including greater likelihood of maladaptive coping strategies, increase in the burden of chronic disease, serious mental health and addiction challenges and even premature mortality 2. Globally, young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults 3. Youth who missed the opportunity of formal education and training because of child labor are at increased risk of unemployment, exploitation and marginalization. In addition, commonly, children's occupations are unsafe not only regarding work conditions. The unacceptable worst forms of child work, such as slavery or forced labor, sexual exploitation, drug trafficking and dealing, are all linked to illegal activities and often involve high levels of violence. Other hazardous occupations for children are agriculture, the logging industry, mining and construction, among others still prevailing in many countries for boys, while girls are frequently engaged in domestic work, as informal workers without protections, social support benefits, or career progression opportunities 4. The persistence of child labor in low-and middle-income countries regardless of times of prosperity or economic crisis 4 continue to intrigue researchers and public policy decision-makers, which emphasizes the need for more research and understanding of this complex social challenge. While conditional cash transfer programs as an additional strategy to reduce child labor may create the appearance that child work rates are decreasing, alone, it often does little
