MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The General Labor Inspectorate (IGT) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) plays a crucial role in regulating working conditions and protecting workers' rights. This article examines the structures and functions of the IGT, highlighting key challenges it faces, such as compliance with international labor standards, corruption, lack of resources, and inadequate inspector training. Additionally, the article analyzes specific challenges related to labor law enforcement in a context of high economic informality and geographic diversity. Finally, recommendations are made to enhance the IGT's effectiveness, including institutional reforms, improving inspector capacities, and increased collaboration with social and international partners.
