JILPT International Seminar 2015 (February 23-24)
Performance of Prevention and Resolution Mechanisms and Processes for Individual Labour Disputes
JILPT holds a biennial International Seminar on Labor Issues. This year we took up the critical issue of “Performance of Dispute Prevention and Resolution Mechanisms and the Process for Individual Labour Disputes”. We held a two-day seminar under joint host of JILPT and ILO in February, inviting academics and experts in the field. The main purpose of the Seminar was to gather information and learn from the experiences of each participating country and to draw some policy implications through cross-national discussion and comparative analyses.
