International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendations, adopted following negotiation amongst ILO member state governments and business and union representatives, serve as non-binding guidelines. The Government welcomes this Recommendation and recognises its importance in its global context, as it acts as a guide for all countries in their work towards making full, decent, productive and freely chosen employment a central goal in their national development and growth strategy. The Recommendation is primarily aimed at those countries with less developed social security systems. It is not envisaged that this Recommendation will have any impact on the UK as it is consistent with UK Government policies.</p>","house":"Lords","noticeNumber":0,"hasAttachments":false,"hasLinkedStatements":true,"linkedStatements":[{"linkedStatementId":661315,"linkType":"JointStatement","linkDate":"2016-12-19T00:00:00"}],"attachments":[]},"links":[{"rel":"self","href":"/Statements/661319","method":"GET"}]}
