Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 is an International Labour Organization Convention.

Background

The ILO Convention 156 followed the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, 1979, which recommended some maternity leave, and said in its preamble that states are "aware that a change in the traditional role of men as well as the role of women in society and in the family is needed to achieve full equality between men and women".

Contents

The ILO Convention 156 was established in 1981, with the preamble stating:
