Objective The objectives of the Department for Government and Labour Law and Administration, a unit of the ILO Social Dialogue Sector, include the operational objective of strengthening the ministries and related agencies of the ILO member States which are responsible for labour legislation and administration. Labour administrations today Labour ministries and related agencies have the political responsibility of ensuring that labour and employment issues are integrated into government policies. Answers must be found to all of these questions, and, of course, the context in which each specific organization is developing must be taken into account. The conditions under which public administrations operate have changed dramatically over the past few decades, due both to technological, economic and political developments and to the globalization of trade. As these changes have come about the administrations have had to review their role and adapt their organization and operation.
Labour administrations are no exception.
A number of labour administrations, on the other hand, seem to have lost some of their usefulness and influence for various reasons and need to redefine a new intervention strategy and form of organization so as to be able to meet expectations. Role Upon request, the ILO can place competent experts at the disposal of the member States with a view to supporting them in the assessment of their organization on the basis of a well-tried methodology. The recommendations made at the conclusion of this assessment will take account of the principles set out in ILO Convention no. To provide better services for users.
