Labour management what are scopes in this study and importance.

The ILO has a long-standing commitment to strengthening labour ministries with the overall goal of enabling them to make significant inputs into broader economic and social policy-making as well as carrying out their regular functions with greater efficiency and impact. Labour ministries are the main interlocutors between the ILO and the governments of its member States. The ILO relies on the labour administration in each country, as well as the social partners, to highlight the importance of the ratification and implementation of international labour standards. At the national level, the labour ministry has the main responsibility for ensuring that the social partners have a place in policy-making and are recognized by government as major interlocutors. Today, the labour administration finds itself at the centre of the challenges and constraints resulting from the rapid changes affecting the world of work.

Labour administration, in particular labour inspection, has enjoyed an increasingly high profile in recent years, both nationally and internationally. Much of the increased interest is from governments, recognizing that in a globalized world labour administration is a key actor in the elaboration and implementation of national economic and social policies.
Labour administration is an important source of information in its fields of competence for government, employers and workers alike; it is an active intermediary in the prevention and settlement of labour disputes; it is an informed observer of the trends in society by virtue of its special links with the social partners; it is a provider of effective solutions to the evolving needs of its users. It already bears responsibility for an increasing part of public expenditure; yet employers and workers are now calling for better resources for ministries of labour and labour inspectorates, to promote fairness and a “level playing field”, and to make decent work a reality.
