Becoming a Fair Work nation: consultation
This consultation seeks views on achieving this vision and ensuring Fair Work remains at the heart of our labour market interventions, particularly in the context of COVID-19 and EU Exit, by identifying the relevant challenges and opportunities for Fair Work across the Scottish economy.
Measuring success
Fair Work sits at the heart of Scotland’s National Performance Framework and links clearly to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Key UN Sustainable Development Goals
1 . No poverty
2. Zero hunger
3. Good health and well-being
4. Quality education
5. Gender equality
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
10. Reduced inequalities
11. Sustainable cities and communities
12. Responsible consumption and production
13. Climate action
16. Peace, justice and strong institutions
National Outcomes
- Economy: We have a globally competitive, entrepreneurial, inclusive and sustainable economy
- International: We are open, connected and make a positive contribution internationally
- Poverty: We tackle poverty by sharing opportunities, wealth and power more equally
- Communities: We live in communities that are inclusive, empowered, resilient and safe
- Children & young people: We grow up loved, safe and respected so that we realise our full potential
- Education: We are well-educated, skilled and able to contribute to society
- Fair work & business: We have thriving and innovative businesses, with quality jobs and fair work for everyone
- Health: We are healthy and active
- Environment: We value, enjoy, protect and enhance our environment
- Culture: We are creative and our vibrant and diverse cultures are expressed and enjoyed widely
- Human rights: We respect, protect and fulfil human rights and live free from discrimination
These measures will allow us to track key indicators of success across the five dimensions of fair work, with the Fair Work Convention’s Measurement Framework providing a more detailed picture of progress across all aspects of Fair Work, helping us to evaluate our policies. In addition to this, we are committed to evaluating the adoption of our Fair Work First approach and criteria, and the effectiveness of the Fair Work First guidance.
We will report annually on the progress we are making on the actions within our action plans; in the planned refresh of our action plans, we will consider what further outcomes and outputs are necessary to keep fair work practices at the heart of the economy and make Scotland a Fair Work Nation.
