Social Dialogue Report 2024: Peak-level social dialogue for economic development and social progress

This second edition of the ILO Social Dialogue Report focuses on “peak-level social dialogue”  – a set of institutions and processes whereby governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations negotiate, consult each other and exchange information on labour, economic and social matters at national or sectoral level.

The report draws on case studies, industrial relations data, a global review of peak-level social dialogue processes and outcomes, and a perceptions survey of 71 employers' and workers' organizations in 38 countries on the effectiveness and inclusiveness of National Social Dialogue Institutions. 

By showcasing country examples and good practices from around the world, the report illustrates how peak-level social dialogue can serve as a powerful catalyst for navigating complexity, identifying balanced and sustainable solutions, addressing social and economic injustice and promoting democracy in the world of work – and in society at large.
