“…The ILO tripartite principle based on a context of dialogue and cooperation among governments, employers, and workers was constituted in the interwar period in the first half of the twentieth century but has not been favourable in the global economy and society of the twenty-first century (Standing, 2008;Carbonnier and Gironde, 2019;Jakovleski, Jerbi and Biersteker, 2019;Kott, 2019;Louis, 2019).…”

Domestic workers provide a variety of services and contribute significantly to the global economy. However, domestic work has long been undervalued in the labour market. In January 2013, Italy became the first country in Europe, and the first among the countries receiving migrant domestic workers, to ratify International Labour Organization Convention No. 189, the Domestic Workers Convention. In contrast to the unprecedented dedication to domestic workers’ labour rights specified in C189, the majority of domestic workers presently in Italy are migrant women and undeclared workers. This article draws on interviews to show how Italy’s ratification of C189 was accomplished through well-organised tripartism and top-down ratification processes, while perpetuating the undervaluation of the work status of migrant domestic workers.

“…The UN World Conferences on Women, from the session held in Mexico City in 1975 to the one in Beijing in 1995, served as hubs for transnational networks of women and experts, and contributed to the dissemination of legal rights worldwide. The concept of gender mainstreaming, which was established at the 1995 Beijing Conference as a principle of gender equity in all spheres of regulation (Finke 2005;Boris, Hoehtker and Zimmermann 2018;Louis 2018), spread globally and was reflected in the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Despite the persistence of male and Northern dominance in institutions, this development strengthened women's voice and the egalitarian narrative, while also providing outcomes of equality-oriented entitlement.…”

Segmenting and equalizing narratives in the ILO's standard‐setting practice

In shaping the employment relationship internationally, the ILO initially reproduced the Western normative narrative of the standard employment relationship (SER). When the global South and women gained a stronger voice within the ILO, a contrasting egalitarian narrative emerged, challenging the SER hegemony and creating a layering of narratives. Combining historical institutionalism and structuration theory, the authors follow the development of these narratives and consider how the resultant legal and normative conflicts between them can be explained by focusing on the composition of ILO membership and the representation of women in International Labour Conferences over time. The authors draw a number of legal‐political conclusions from their findings.

“…Though a growing body of scholarship addresses the ILO's history (Maul, 2019;Baccaro & Mele, 2012;Helfer, 2007) and internal politics (Louis, 2019;Louis & Ruwet, 2017), a fulsome account of the organization's current status, from internal struggles to international programming, does not exist. While some scholarship has approached the organization using this approach (Piper, 2022;Piper Open Journal of Political Science & Foley, 2021;Jensen & Piper, 2022), these accounts have been largely centered around migrant labour, and do not overview the organization's broader structural and political elements.…”

Decent Work, Social Justice, Status-Quo: The ILO as a World Organization

From internal struggles to ineffective international programming, the ILO has long been plagued with a variety of issues that undermine its efficacy. This has resulted in some scholars dismissing the organization as a relevant player in the world of international work and labour. However, this paper contends that these accusations fail to consider the ILO as a complex and multifaceted organization with its own mandate, agenda, and impact. Using the world organizations approach put forward by Martin Koch, four aspects of the ILO are discussed: world semantics, internal order, external relations, and contributions to world order. This analysis finds that, though the ILO has often failed to drive rapid progress in the world of work and labour, the incremental changes it has made to international working conditions through the use of small-scale programming has overall improved working conditions for many workers around the world.
