In which year was the ILO formed?

• A. 1919
• B. 1900
• C. 1920
• D. 1930

Answer: (A)

After World War I there was a push to promote fair labor standards and social justice globally. The International Labour Organization was established in 1919, with its constitution adopted as part of the peace settlement, making it the first specialized agency linked to the League of Nations and laying the groundwork for its later role within the United Nations. This year is the correct one because it marks the formal creation of the ILO and its mission to improve labor conditions worldwide. The other dates don’t fit because the organization did not exist then: 1900 is earlier than the effort to create such an international body; 1920 and 1930 come after its founding.
