Introduction to "Monde du Travail"
"Monde du Travail" is a national innovative platform resulting from a concrete partnership between the public and private sectors. It was presented during the second edition of the "Tech the Justice Gap" forum by representatives of the Ministry of Social Affairs.
Background and Objectives
This initiative stems from a finding: since 2017, the HiiL Legal Innovation Lab has been conducting surveys on citizens' needs in terms of justice in Tunisia. The 2022 report reveals that 17% of the problems encountered by Tunisians concern labor justice, a figure that reveals structural gaps. To address this, the ministry chose to apply an innovative approach: transforming collected data into practical solutions through a dedicated innovation laboratory for justice.
Development of the Platform
The development of the platform involved experts, academics, lawyers, human resources managers, and labor inspectors from across the country. The goal was to design a tool that facilitates access to information and improves the management of professional relationships for all actors in the labor market.
Key Features of "Monde du Travail"
This platform simplifies and updates information, making it accessible to all parties, from field agents to academics, including employers and accountants. "Monde du Travail" functions as a national digital hub: it centralizes, processes, and quickly disseminates legal and practical information, enabling labor inspectors to better guide their missions and citizens to better understand their rights and obligations. The platform contributes to preventing conflicts and strengthening social dialogue, thanks to personalized advice and support for employers and employees.
Benefits and Impact
Beyond information, the tool supports decent work, a fundamental principle for social peace and labor justice. It offers better transparency and equal access to data, while simplifying procedures for monitoring and controlling professional relationships. This approach is also part of the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting social justice, equality, and safe and fair working conditions.
Conclusion
With "Monde du Travail", Tunisia is implementing a concrete example of digital justice applied to the labor market, transforming data into an operational tool to improve the daily lives of citizens and businesses, while consolidating social peace and legal compliance.
