Description:
There are over 30 million fishers worldwide. Of these, over 15 million are working full time on board fishing vessels. Fishing is one of the most challenging and hazardous occupations. This sector has many characteristics that set it apart from other sectors.
The ILO is working towards ensuring decent work for all fishers. This site describes the work of the Sectoral Activities programme to improve conditions of fishers and also links to other activities underway in the ILO.
In 2007 the International Labour Conference adopted new instruments specifically for the fishing sector: the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188) and Work in Fishing Recommendation, 2007 (No. 199). These new instruments demonstrate the renewed commitment by the ILO to providing decent work to fishers.
