Copublished with the International Labour Organization
This book tells the story of the International Labour
Organization, founded in 1919 in the belief that universal and
lasting peace goes hand in hand with social justice. Since then the
ILO has contributed to the protection of the vulnerable, the fight
against unemployment, the promotion of human rights, the
development of democratic institutions, and the improvement of the
working lives of women and men everywhere.
In its history the ILO has sometimes thrived, sometimes suffered
setbacks, but always survived to pursue its goals through the
political and economic upheavals of the last ninety years. The
authors have between them many years of experience of working in
and studying the ILO. They explore some of the main ideas that the
ILO has developed and championed, and tell how they were applied,
and to what effect, at different times and in different parts of
the world.
There are chapters on rights at work, the quality of employment,
income protection, employment, poverty reduction, a fair
globalization, and today's overriding goal of decent work for all.
The book ends with reflections on the challenges ahead in a world
where the present economic crisis underlines the urgency of global
action for social justice.
