About the author
Founded in 1919, the International Labour Office is the permanent secretariat of the International Labour Organization, the UN agency devoted to labour rights and social justice. From its base in Geneva, it supports research, statistics, conventions, and policy work on issues like wages, working conditions, child labour, forced labour, and freedom of association.
What makes the organization especially distinctive is its tripartite structure: governments, employers, and workers all help shape its standards and programs. That gives its publications a practical tone, blending legal ideas, economics, and on-the-ground experience from many countries.
The International Labour Organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1969, reflecting the global influence of its long campaign for decent work and social protection. Books and reports issued under the International Labour Office name are often valued for their clarity, international perspective, and lasting relevance to debates about work and human welfare.
