ILO in China
The ILO Country Office for China and Mongolia was opened in Beijing in 1985, shortly after the start of China‘s reform process. Since the beginning of the country’s transition to a market economy, the ILO has been providing assistance to the Chinese government and social partners, in areas such as labour legislation, employment promotion and social security reform.
Over 40 years of reform and opening up, China today is the world’s second largest economy and a global key trade partner. China is home to 1.4 billion inhabitants - the world’s second largest population - and nearly a quarter of the global workforce. The cooperation between the ILO and China has extended over time so as to reflect the changes that have taken place in the socio-economic development of the country.
In July 2023,the ILO and its tripartite constituents in China have signed a new Decent Work Country Programme for 2023-2025, the fourth since 2006. It sets out the framework and paves the way for the ILO and China to promote social justice and advance decent work for all.
China is the founding member of the ILO.
