Work
On behalf of the ILO’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Bangkok for this Asian Regional Workers’ Seminar on Decent Work in Agriculture. This subject matter has historically been an area of vital importance to the ILO since its inception in 1919.
Several important ILO Conventions, including numbers 87, 98, 110, 141 and 184*, are primarily concerned with improving conditions of work for the 1.3 billion women, men, and children who work in agriculture.
Half of the world's workers are found in agriculture. About 40 percent, accounting for 450 million workers, are found in wage employment, while the remainder works in the informal sector.
