International Labor Grants U. S. Management and Monitoring Efforts

Recent incidents, including the collapse of a factory building in Bangladesh, have highlighted poor working conditions overseas. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), millions of children worldwide are engaged in labour that hinders their development. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) provides technical assistance mainly through international and nongovernmental organisations to improve working conditions by supporting worker rights and combating child labour. This book examines how ILAB develops its technical assistance projects; how ILAB selects recipients of its funding; and how the Department of Labor manages its grant award documentation.
