Global Wage Report Update
Global growth in real wages slowed dramatically in 2008 as a result of the economic crisis and is expected to drop even further in 2009 despite signs of a possible economic recovery, according to the ILO's 2009 Update of the Global Wage Report. The report also notes that in 2008 half of the 86 countries for which data is available– including major economies such as the U.S., Russia, Japan and Brazil - have increased minimum wages by more than inflation figures.

Decent work for domestic workers, report IV (1), ILC 99th Session 2010
In March 2008, the ILO Governing Body decided to place an item on decent work for domestic workers on the agenda of the 99th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) of 2010 with a view to the setting of labour standards. This report is intended to facilitate the discussion at the ILC and help the member States in replying to the questionnaire appended to it. The report provides information from across the world on the law and practice concerning domestic workers. It identifies and examines innovative regulations and schemes emerging in a number of countries that are aimed at improving the working conditions and status of this category of workers.

And what have been the roles of minimum wages and collective bargaining? These are some of the main questions addressed in this first ILO Global Wage Report.
