International Labour Review

The International Labour Review (ILR) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal of international scope in labour and employment studies. Established in 1921 by decision of the ILO Governing Body, it is published quarterly in English, French and Spanish and administered by the ILO Research Department.

The ILR aims to advance academic research and inform policy debate and decision-making in all fields related to the world of work, such as economics, law, industrial relations, social policy, sociology and history, by publishing and bringing together the original thinking of academics and experts in those fields. It also features concise reports on current developments and reviews of recent major publications considered to be of particular interest to those working in these fields. Read more...

ILR centenary
The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the ILR. To celebrate this milestone, throughout the year, the ILR will highlight its history and multidisciplinary contributions to academic research and policy debate at the global level. It will do so with an interactive timeline, exploring the people and events that have shaped the journal over the past 100 years, and a Centenary Collection. This will be composed of a dedicated article revisiting the ILR’s history and guest-edited Centenary Issues examining recurring and enduring themes of past ILR articles. The first of these virtual issues will be available soon.
