Labour mobility across the nations has been in practice for long times.

In
course of time, this has led to international labour problems for various
reasons and also underlined the need for understanding the problems of
international labour. In 1919, the ILO came into existence as a solution to this
problem.
The ILO was born as a result of the peace conference at the end of World War
I at Versailles on April 19, 1919. Being an original signatory of the treaty of
peace, India became member of ILO in 1919 Itself In fact, ILO is the only
international organisation that survived the Second World War even after
dissolution of its parent body the League of Nations. Its main concern is to
make the world know that world peace is subject to be affected by unjust
conditions of its labour. Thus, ILO deals with international labour problems.
