E/C.12/GC/23 administrative measures, in the event of violation of any of the elements of the right. They should also refrain from procuring goods and services from individuals and enterprises that abuse the right. State parties should ensure that the mandates of labour inspectorates and other investigation and protection mechanisms cover conditions of work in the private sector and provide guidance to employers and enterprises. Measures to protect should also cover the informal sector. Certain workers, such as domestic workers, may require specific measures. 60. The obligation to fulfil requires States parties to adopt the measures necessary to ensure the full realization of the right to just and favourable conditions of work. This includes introducing measures to facilitate, promote and provide that right, including through collective bargaining and social dialogue. 61. In order to facilitate the right to just and favourable conditions of work, States parties should adopt positive measures to assist workers by according sufficient recognition of the right through laws, policies and regulations, for example, on non-discrimination, a non-derogable minimum wage, occupational safety and health, compulsory insurance coverage, minimum standards for rest, leisure, limitations on working hours, paid annual and other leave and public holidays. States parties should also introduce quotas or other temporary special measures to enable women and other members of groups that have experienced discrimination to reach high-level posts and provide incentives for the private sector to do so. 62. To help assess the enjoyment of the right to just and favourable conditions of work, States parties should establish obligatory notification schemes in the event of occupational accidents and disease, as well as mechanisms to assess systematically the level of the minimum wage, fair wages and the gender pay gap between men and women within organizations in the public and private sectors, including in high-level posts. States parties should also periodically review the impact of laws and policies, in consultation with workers and employers, with a view to updating standards in the light of practice. For example, the national policy on occupational safety and health should include a built-in periodic review mechanism. States parties should promote the extension of protective regimes to sectors at risk; introduce schemes that allow for coverage of informal workers, coupled with measures to regularize the informal economy; create adequate dialogue mechanisms to raise pertinent issues; and introduce incentives to overcome the gender pay gap, including through initiatives to alleviate the burden of reproductive work on women, for example, by promoting access to goods and services, such as day-care facilities and non-transferable parental leave for men. 63. In order to promote the right to just and favourable conditions of work, State parties should take steps to ensure appropriate education, information and public awareness. With a view to creating equal opportunities for workers to advance in both the private and public sectors, States parties should put in place training programmes and information campaigns, also targeting employers, in relevant languages and accessible formats for persons with disabilities and illiterate workers. Attention should be paid to the need for gender-sensitive training on the occupational health and safety of workers. 64. States parties must also provide aspects of the right to just and favourable conditions of work when workers are unable to realize the right themselves. They have a role in creating an enabling labour market environment and should, for example, adapt the workplace and equipment for persons with disabilities in the public sector and provide incentives for the private sector to do so. States could establish non-contributory social security programmes for certain workers, such as workers in the informal economy, to provide benefits and protection against accidents and disease at work. 17
