ILO Decent Work Team for South Asia and ILO Country Office for India (DWT/CO-New Delhi)
South Asia is the most populous geographical region in the world, with almost one-fifth of the world’s total population, and large segments of workers in the informal economy. The twin challenges of translating economic gains into productive employment and progress on social indicators continue in most countries in spite of good economic growth in most countries.
The Decent Work Technical Support Team for South Asia and Country Office for India (DWT/CO-New Delhi) is based in New Delhi. The Decent Work Technical Support Team for South Asia, mainly provides technical support to ILO constituents in countries in South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka including Bhutan which is a non-member country) to promote Decent Work Agenda through implementation of Decent Work Country Programme. The Country Office for India is responsible for ILO activities in India.
