Abstract: | While private sector investment plays a key role in fostering sustainable economic development in developing countries, respect
for internationally recognized worker rights is also a vital component. The paper presents a methodology to assist investors
in large-scale private infrastructure and other industry sector projects to utilize internationally recognized core labor
rights and related standards for fostering sound labor management. The methodology involves due diligence or analysis of labor
conditions and subsequent supervision and monitoring of performance and promotes the use of best practices to complement existing
minimum requirements. Case study examples are presented and challenges in applying the approach are discussed. |
