- Iceland will host a special gender equality conference in September, as part of its Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.
- In November, the Ministry For Social Affairs and Children, together with the Directorate of Labour Vinnumálastofnun and the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health in Iceland Vinnueftirlitið, organised a conference on the rapid growth of foreign labour in Iceland, especially within the tourism sector. A changing labour market means there is a need for improved oversight and information to make sure everyone get the same good working environments and salary levels.
- In March this year, Iceland will also organise an event ahead of the High-Level Political Forum in New York this summer. The event will host a debate on the UN’s goal to secure everyone the right to a good job.
