Program to Improve Work Conditions Launched
Amena Afzali, Minister of Work, Social Affairs, Martyred, and Disabled
Amena Afzali, Afghanistan’s Minister of Work, Social Affairs, Martyred, and Disabled told reporters today that the Afghan government, working with representatives of labor and union, and with support from the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the United Nations have launched a program to create better working conditions for Afghans, especially for women, children and people with disabilities. “A decent work program is vital for Afghanistan,” said Afzali.
The program, called the Decent Work Country Program (DWCP) will promote and apply international labor standards, and promote productive employment through labor market information and skill development.
The expected outcomes of DWCP  include setting up a minimum wage for skilled and unskilled workers, like they have in many western countries like the United States, as well as contribute to the elimination of child labor in Afghanistan.
