Labour Administration
Labour administration is defined by ILO Convention No. 150 as "public administration activities in the field of national labour policy." It is an essential tool at the disposal of governments in fulfilling their responsibilities towards social issues. Convention No.150 lists the following as necessary for a national labour administration system to function effectively:
- a coherent national labour policy;
- a co-ordinated system of competent bodies;
- an institutional structure integrating the active participation of workers, employers and their respective organizations; and
- adequate human, financial and other resources for the provision of effective and efficient services.
Assistance in the development and improvement of national labour administration systems has always been part of the ILO's main technical cooperation activities. Among the services offered to member States in this area are:
- assessments and support for strengthening institutional organization and management;
- comparative information on labour administration systems, examples of "good practices" and publications; and
- assistance in strengthening the influence of labour administrations on national economic and social policy.
