Samenvatting

Recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in the use and construction of "qualitative" indicators of labour standards. This volume results from a seminar that was organized to address these and related questions. The contributions offer a unique comparative critique of the progress toward standards. Contributors include academic experts as well as lawyers, social scientists and NGO experts who have done significant work on labour standards.
