Juridical evolution of the “decent work” concept in the Albanian labour legislation

Abstract

The development in workplace relationships in our society demonstrates the need to respect human rights and freedoms at the work place, the so-called essential guarantees for 'having decent work and dignity in the workplace'. Thus we can detect that the “decent work” concept takes place in the dimenstions between the new demands of a country's job market, in respecting the important principles and values, such as the principle to ban forced work, the principle that bans discrimination in the work place, the principle of equal pay, the freedom of association principle, the principle for comprehensive protection in the work place which is coherent to the development of current issues, such as the need to defend one's rights in the work place. Considering the current development of the internataional labour law and in particular the need to develop the concept of 'decent work' now an actual interlacement is needed between the respective legal framework and the best politicies adapted in order to meet the legal goals of a country in the best way possible.
