Abstract
The downside of globalization is commonly experienced through the world of work – poor wages and working conditions, unemployment, underemployment, forced labour, child labour, sweat factories, diminished or no social protection, restrictions on organizing, and the list goes on. Today, realizing decent work for all – promoting opportunities for work in ways that respect human dignity and in the context of each society – is an imperative in restoring balance and bringing human values to bear on policy choices. Spirituality and values are essential in the quest for a fair globalization. This handbook demonstrates that in different religions and spiritual traditions there is great convergence of values on the subject of work.
