Labour Inspection Strategies for combatting Undeclared Work in Europe

This project encompasses a series of initial national studies to explore the variety of labour inspection approaches within Europe for combatting undeclared work. Based on this research and a resulting comparative study, an experts workshop will be organized to discuss the research outcomes and to consider the production of a set of guidelines on labour inspection approaches to undeclared work that might address the following, and possibly other, issues: · the legal and policy framework required for labour inspectorates to effectively combat undeclared work · detection strategies at both the inspection planning and visiting stages · adequate and effective sanctions for deterrence · awareness raising campaigns and other means for promoting compliance · collaboration with other national agencies · collaboration with inspectorates from other countries · the role of social partners to assist labour inspectors in combatting undeclared work training needs for labour inspectors on undeclared work
