On 17 July 2025, the International Labour Organization (ILO) will host the ILO Youth Congress at EXPO Osaka, Japan. The event is taking place as part of the EXPO 2025 Days on Safety, Health & Well-being for All held under the inaugural Global Initiative for Safety, Health and Well-being (GISHW). 

This landmark event focuses on empowering young people to actively participate in the design of safe, healthy and inclusive workplaces in the digital age. Rooted in the ILO’s 2022 resolution recognizing a safe and healthy working environment as a Fundamental Principle and Right at Work, this event addresses the urgent need to raise awareness and to call for action among young people—who often face greater OSH risks—about their rights and the importance of business and human rights in ensuring decent work.
