Global Scale of Digital Wages Payments for Decent Work

The project “Global Centre for on digital wage payments for Decent Work” promotes the transition from cash to responsible digital wage payments. Through research, evidence-based advocacy, and the development of the capacity of both employers and workers as well as of inclusive digital payment ecosystems, the Global Centre enables millions of male and female workers around the world to receive their correct wages, paid digitally into bank accounts or mobile money wallets and make the most out of them. The Global Centre supports the development of conducive regulatory frameworks and financial ecosystems that i) enhance the productivity of enterprises, ii) encourage the respect of labour rights, and iii) boost the financial inclusion of workers. The Global Centre is operated from ILO Geneva headquarters and has field activities in four countries in Africa, Asia and Central/Latin America.
