International Labour Organization

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a United Nations agency dealing with labour issues. The main aims of the ILO are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based on social justice. The ILO became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946.

      This indicator is a proxy for health system outcomes. It represents the number of maternal deaths per 10 000 live births. A higher figure indicates worse outcomes. This is one of five indicators measuring key dimensions (drivers) of deficits in health care access and coverage. For analytical purposes the full set of indicators should be considered together.
