The January 2009 issue of focus on labour includes an in-depth look at how microfinance is being used increasingly to address decent work deficits among the poorest communities, as well as analysis of the new EU Directive on Agency Workers, an Ergon study on the social impact of cotton production and a review of labour standards and employment regulation in Russia. In addition, Annie Watson describes some of the strategies being developed by the international trade union movement in the face of globalisation. As usual, focus on labour also covers news from the field of labour rights.
