In this presentation, we offer a contemporary analysis of the decent work concept from the lens of a neoliberal critique. After defining these terms, we identify the historical overlap between the development of the decent work agenda and neoliberalism. We articulate ways in which the ILO's Decent Work Agenda (and the decent work concept) can be expanded to more fully embrace a social justice and human rights ethos. A core aspect of this expansive and inclusive vision includes framing decent work via a vision of work that centers decency and dignity, which counters the neoliberal trend of commodifying work. Specific attributes of this broadened vision incorporate a focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion as well as pathways for meaningful and purposeful work. This critique includes ideas about how to manage work in an environment characterized by precarity, AI-based work technologies and other forces that may mitigate decent and dignified work.
