Launch: ILO Labour Provisions in Trade Agreements Hub

Launch of the Labour Provisions in Trade Agreements Hub (LP Hub) - a one-stop shop for information on labour provisions in more than 100 regional trade agreements in over 140 economies.

Background

The Labour Provisions in Trade Agreements Hub (LP Hub) offers a comprehensive, structured compilation of the text of labour provisions in more than 100 bi- and plurilateral trade agreements, which engage about 140 economies.

The launch of the LP Hub follows increasing requests from governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations for more information and research, including comparative legal analysis about labour provisions. In this context, this unique and valuable tool provides users with a central data source to navigate and analyse labour provisions across trade partners and over time; visualize data and trends; search specific terms; and download relevant information.
