Features: "Labor Inspection" is an authoritative comprehensive guide launched by the International Labor Organization in 2002. It fills the gap in the field of labor inspection for nearly 30 years, lacking guidance tools that are up-to-date with the times, and has been well-received by the International Association of Labor Inspection and labor departments in various countries. Based on an international background, the book elaborates on policy issues, analyzes how major changes in the economic sector, labor market, science and technology, as well as the social structures of nations, sectors, and enterprises, affect labor inspection work, and provides an outlook on policy and practical issues at the beginning of the 21st century. The book explores newly established systems and strategies in various countries, such as "internal monitoring" (in Nordic countries) and the integration of certain parts of social insurance (workers' compensation) with inspection work, and analyzes how these practices are utilized by countries with similar situations. Additionally, the book focuses on major trends that have a profound impact on labor inspection, namely how to compel labor inspectors to gradually abandon traditional practices based on single specialization and shift toward a truly "integrated" concept. The book emphasizes the extreme importance of developing and recognizing all factors that affect and improve labor protection.
