Our snowball sampling method allows anonymous and voluntary participation, expanding through worker recruitment. This enables the inclusion of hidden and hard-to-reach populations. Through statistical simulations, the Fair Work Monitor has defined a threshold to validate the minimum number of participants required to make statistical inferences. In other words, this helps ensure that the sample size is large enough for statistical analysis and can provide useful insights into the working conditions in the supply chain.
We partner closely with unions and workers to ensure their voices guide our work at every step. Their active participation is central to our participatory, rights-based approach. In addition, we collaborate with the Anker Research Institute, whose expertise helps us collect precise, locally grounded data, especially on living wages, enhancing the quality and credibility of our work.
The results of the Fair Work Monitor are valuable for workers, trade unions and employers, as they provide important insights for monitoring labour rights, ensuring the sustainability of supply chains, and supporting corporate due diligence.
About the Fair Work Monitor
Accurate insights from those on the ground
By surveying workers in the field or factory, we capture an authentic picture of the reality they face. Straight from the people experiencing it.
Anonymous surveys that encourage honest feedback
Anonymous surveys empower employees to speak freely without fear of reprisal. This safe space fosters trust and ensures every voice - even the quietest - is heard.
Reaching hidden and hard-to-access groups
The Fair Work Monitor ensures divers perspectives are represented, leading to richer, more inclusive insights.
Covering the issues that matter most
We gather vital information on wages, workplace health and safety, freedom of association, gender dynamics, social dialogue, and forced and child labour.
It's a collective effort
We partner closely with unions and workers to ensure their voices guide our work at every step. Their active participation is central to our participatory, rights-based approach.
