This report provides an overview of the International Labour Organization's (ILO) 90-year commitment to enhancing social justice and working conditions for Afghan workers. It highlights the severe challenges faced by the Afghan labor market after the political changes in August 2021, including significant job losses, particularly among women, and a drop in working hours. The ILO's response to these issues, such as creating emergency jobs, supporting small businesses, and emphasizing skills development, is also detailed. The report underscores the importance of women’s workforce participation for recovery and calls for international support to stabilize Afghanistan’s labor market and foster a sustainable future.
