abstract: 'This policy promotes decent work as a U.S. public health goal through a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive approach that builds upon existing APHA policy statements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and addresses statement gaps. The International Labour Organization
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defines decent work as work that is ``productive, delivers a fair
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income, provides security in the workplace and social protection for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers and their families, offers prospects for personal development
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and encourages social interaction, gives people the freedom to express
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their concerns and organize and participate in the decisions affecting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their lives and guarantees equal opportunities and equal treatment for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all across the entire lifespan.{''''} The World Health Organization has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emphasized that ``health and employment are inextricably linked{''''} and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``health inequities attributable to employment can be reduced by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promoting safe, healthy and secure work.{''''} Here evidence is presented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
linking decent work and health and action steps are proposed to help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
achieve decent work for all and, thus, improve public health. In the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
United States, inadequacies in labor laws, structural racism, failed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigration policies, ageism, and other factors have increased income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality and stressful and hazardous working conditions and reduced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities for decent work, adversely affecting workers'' health and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ability to sustain themselves and their families. The COVID-19 pandemic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlighted these failures through higher mortality rates among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
essential and low-wage workers, who were disproportionately people of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
color. This policy statement provides a strategic umbrella of tactics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for just, equitable, and healthy economic development of decent work and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
proposes research partnerships to develop, implement, measure, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate decent work in the United States.'
