Travailler sur une planète plus chaude: L'impact du stress thermique sur la productivité du travail et le travail décent

ILO
The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.

Le phénomène du stress thermique fait référence à une chaleur reçue supérieure à celle que le corps peut tolérer sans altération physiologique. C'est l'une des conséquences majeures du réchauffement climatique. D'ici 2030, l'équivalent de plus de 2% du total des heures de travail dans le monde devrait être perdu chaque année, soit parce qu'il fait trop chaud pour travailler, soit parce que les travailleurs doivent travailler à un rythme plus lent.
Ce rapport montre l'impact du stress thermique sur la productivité et le travail décent pour tous les pays du monde. Il présente des solutions innovantes basées sur le dialogue social pour promouvoir la sécurité et la santé au travail pour les groupes de travailleurs les plus vulnérables.
