dc.description.abstract | This article examines the impact of the International Labour Organization’s
concept of Decent Work on development thinking and the academic literature.
We attempt to answer the question of what makes a development initiative
successful by comparing the decent work approach to the United Nation
Development Programme’s Human Development concept (in conjunction
with the human development indicator). We consider that the latter has
been one of the most successful development concepts ever to have been
launched, while the impact of decent work by comparison has been limited.
Our hypothesis relating to the question of what makes a development initiative
successful has three fundamental components: first, a solid theoretical
foundation has to justify the launch of a development concept. A second vital
factor is the availability of sufficient national and internationally comparable
data that enables researchers and policy makers alike to apply the concept,
preferably by means of a synthetic indicator. Third, the political will and
institutional structure of the development institution that launches a concept
is a key factor, particularly if data availability is limited as countries then
have to be persuaded to generate new data. | |
