Özet:

The paper presents the International Labour Organization (ILO), which has addressed economic, social and political changes, through its policies and activities and has examined emerging problems and expectations for working life. The current research is based on a literature review. The establishment of the ILO is first discussed from the World War perspective, that is, based on seeking universal peace for social justice. Then, the ILO policies, which were adopted during the welfare state period and the age of globalization and shaped under the leadership of neoliberal policies, are examined. Lastly, the ILO’s new road map, which aims to accomplish its mission to improve global working and living conditions, is emphasized and policy suggestions are presented for future studies. Results show that the ILO established its policies by considering social structures and changes and international conjuncts for a century. Continuing this approach in the 21st century, the ILO pursues proactive policies with the aim of setting standards for working life in the structuring period of globalization. These developments demonstrate that the current importance and effectiveness of the ILO for working life and international economic relations will increase in the future.
