10. HISTORY
• The ILO was established in 1919 as an agency of the League of Nations
following the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I.
• In 1969, the organization received the Nobel Peace Prize for improving
peace among classes, pursuing justice for workers, and providing
technical assistance to developing nations.
• The founders of the ILO had made great strides in social thought and
action before 1919. The core members all knew one another from earlier
private professional and ideological networks, in which they exchanged
knowledge, experiences, and ideas on social policy.
• In the post–World War I euphoria, the idea of a 'makeable society' was an
important catalyst behind the social engineering of the ILO architects.
• In 1946, the ILO became the first specialized agency of the newly-formed
United Nations
• At the time of establishment, the US government was not a member of
ILO. On 22 June 1934, the ILO adopted a resolution inviting the US
government to join the organization. On 20 August 1934, the US
government responded positively and took its seat at the ILO.
13. PROGRAMS
1. Labour statistics
The ILO is a major provider of labour statistics. Labour statistics are an
important tool for its member states to monitor their progress toward
improving labour standards. As part of their statistical work, ILO maintains
several databases
2. Training and teaching units
The International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization
(ITCILO) is based in Turin, Italy.[26] Together with the University of Turin,
Faculty of Law, the ITC offers training for ILO officers and secretariat
members, as well as offering educational programmes.
3. Child labour
The ILO’s International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC)
was created in 1992 with the overall goal of the progressive elimination of
child labour, which was to be achieved through strengthening the capacity of
countries to deal with the problem and promoting a worldwide movement to
combat child labour.
14. ISSUES AND IMPACT

It is defined as “the condition of a person who provides labour or services
(other than sexual services) and who, because of the use of force or threats:
(a) is not free to cease providing labour or services; or (b) is not free to leave
the place or area where the person provides labour or services”. The ILO has
considered the fight against forced labour to be one of its main priorities.
2. Minimum wage law
To protect the right of labours for fixing minimum wage, ILO has created
Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928, Minimum Wage Fixing
Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 and Minimum Wage Fixing
Convention, 1970 as minimum wage law.

reduction of poverty, and the World Bank aligns its aid efforts
correspondingly.
