Study Visit: Lithuanian Labour Inspectorate approach and operational practices for tackling undeclared work

The aim of this study visit is to enable Platform members and observers to explore the approaches and operational practices used by the State Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Lithuania for tackling undeclared work. The study visit will provide participants with an opportunity to learn more about the use of innovative digital tools, cooperation practices and the exploitation of technological advancements for detecting and tackling undeclared work in Lithuania.

The visit covers, among other things, the regulatory, implementation, and training framework concerning the use of drones during inspections and the identification QR code in the construction sector, also focusing on the effectiveness and transferability of the practices. The learning process is supplemented by practical hands-on demonstration of these tools aiming to enhance comprehensive understanding of the presented concepts.

The study visit also explores risk assessment, data mining and data sharing methods as well as artificial intelligence tools used by the Lithuanian Labour Inspectorate to identify and address instances of undeclared work. Particularly, a new AI-driven chatbot tool is presented that is currently under development and its full launch is planned for the second quarter of 2025.
