1 Decent Work Deficits in Agriculture concepts, measures, and solutions The International Center for Development and Decent Work (ICDD) Summer Course in Mérida (México) 4-8 July 2016 Dear members and supporters of ICDD, We are pleased to welcome you to the summer course at the Universidad Autonóma de Yucatán (UADY) jointly organized by our ICDD partners in Merida, Mexico. 1. Objectives The decent work deficit is very much pronounced in agriculture: workers and smallholders lack frequently sufficient income, social security, protection against occupational risks and a collective voice vis-à-vis employers and the state. While this is generally known, little research has been done to actually measure the decent work deficit in agriculture and to develop strategies beyond increasing agricultural yields. The summer course shall bring together students and experts of agriculture with experts on labour relations. Its objective is to familiarize agricultural researchers with the decent work concept, to develop methods for identifying decent work deficits, and to discuss strategies for implementing the decent work agenda. Therefore, being famous for its agro-biodiversity and long-term agricultural history, Yucatan is a perfect spot for the upcoming ICDD summer school.

2 2. Core topics 1. Decent work deficits: Problems and constraints 2. Origin and meaning of the concept of decent work 3. Measurement of decent work 4. Decent work in Mexico and its regions 3. Working questions 1. What are decent work deficits? 2. Where do we find decent work deficits in agriculture? 3. What are the reasons for indecent work conditions in agriculture? 4. What kind of solutions do we know/are needed to avoid indecent working conditions?
