 | Summary
Fishing is a peculiarly difficult occupation not only because
of the strenuous and hazardous nature of the labour process itself
but also because of the unpredictable status of the world's fisheries.
Most of the world's fishermen - who are in the small-scale and
artisanal sector - do not enjoy the benefits of the fundamental
principles and rights at work that are supposedly applicable to
all workers,as laid down in the Declaration of Fundamental Principles
and Rights at Work of the International Labour Organization (ILO
).
Forty years after its last standard on work in the fishing sector, ILO
has proposed a new standard,to be placed on the agenda of the 92nd
Session of the International Labour Conference in June 2004 at
Geneva.This dossier puts together reports on workshops held to discuss
this proposed standard,as well as analyses of social security measures
for fishing communities in the small-scale and artisanal sector in a
couple of selected developing countries. Contents
