Abstract

The General Labor Inspectorate in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces multidimensional challenges in the enforcement of labor standards, exacerbated by a combination of economic, political, and institutional factors. This article explores the duality in the application of labor standards through the lens of Schrödinger’s Cat Paradox, illustrating how these standards can be both respected and violated, depending on the observers and actors involved. Through a review of the literature, an in-depth analysis of labor inspection practices, and a discussion on the role of various actors (government, employers, unions, and international organizations), we demonstrate how the complex dynamics of the Congolese environment influence the effectiveness of labor standards enforcement.
