The International Labour Organization and the quest for social justice, 1919 - 2009

Explores some of the main ideas which the ILO has seized, developed and applied, examines their history and tells how they were pursued in different geographical and historical settings. The International Labour Organization was founded in 1919 in the belief that peace and social justice go hand in hand. This book explores key ideas that the ILO has championed and applied through the political and economic upheavals of the last 90 years.: rights at work, the quality of employment, income protection, employment and poverty reduction, a fair globalization and today's overriding goal of decent work for all.
