The ITUC Global Rights Index 2021 shows just how far some governments and employers have gone to exploit the Covid-19 pandemic to attack the rights of working people. It is our job to use the 2021 Rights Index to expose these violations to build pressure to deliver with workers a New Social Contract with jobs, rights, social protection, equality and inclusion.
This eighth edition of the Rights Index ranks 149 countries by their respect for workers’ rights. For the first time, it has an interactive platform where cases of violated rights and national ratings can be viewed by country and region. As a comprehensive review of workers’ rights in law, it provides the only database of its kind.
