International Labour Review

The International Labour Review (ILR), a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal with a global reach in labor and employment studies, was established in 1921 by the ILO Governing Body. Published quarterly in English, French, and Spanish by the ILO Research Department, the ILR seeks to promote academic research and contribute to policy discussions and decisions in areas related to work, including economics, law, industrial relations, social policy, sociology, and history. It publishes original academic and expert analyses, offers concise updates on recent developments, and reviews significant publications of interest to professionals in these domains.
