Sovereignty over time. Unilateralism and imposition in the distribution of working time versus co-responsible work-life balance
Abstract
The ILO considers sovereignty over time as one of the pillars of decent work. Working time has achieved renewed relevance in the face of technological change and its disruptive effects on labour relations. The outdated formulas of reconciliation rights linked to the reduction of working time have proved to be ineffective for the full exercise of reconciliation rights. The ageing of the population along with the COVID-19 health crisis have yielded care work, whose traditional female gender link has hindered women’s full labour integration. The working conditions of sustainable work of the future require subordinating working time to people’s needs.
