Using strategies first developed in the inter-war years, the ILO has repositioned itself to play a leading role in our understanding of the relationship between employment policies and growth, particularly in relation to poverty reduction strategies. To do this, the ILO has forged increasing strong relationships with key international financial institutions (IFIs), in which the inclusion of ILO-driven strategies for Decent Work and core labour standards has been important. Whilst this repositioning has been questioned by some who fear that an original purpose of the ILO may be lost, and the technical implementation of the ILO agenda in conjunction with the IFIs is not without difficulties, the ILO’s status as a major international agency for the advancement of human development has been reinforced.
