Monitoring International Labor Standards (MILS) Database

Monitoring International Labor Standards (MILS) Database

++ Search Page

++ Explanation & Home Page
WebMILS

WebMILS is an electronic database containing information relating to national compliance with international labor standards. Users may find the following types of information:

* General information on International Labor Standards;
* Guidance on assessing national-level compliance; and
* Links to a wide range of information sources, which may prove useful in conducting specific country assessments.

To access general information on International Labor Standards or to read the guidance of the National Academies' Committee on Monitoring International Labor Standards (CMILS) on Assessing Compliance, users should follow those links in the navigation bar on the
right-hand side of the screen. These pages-organized by labor standard-offer descriptions of indicators that CMILS has recommended for users to consider in order to exercise "due diligence" in conducting assessments of national-level compliance with internationally
recognized labor standards.

Accessing Information Sources in WebMILS: Conducting Searches

Searches can be conducted from the WebMILS home page by clicking "Search webMILS" or through the "Sources" link in the blue navigation bar. The search is commenced by selecting a country and standard or topic from the dropdown menus. In addition to core labor standards and "acceptable conditions of work," users can choose to search for human capital or general country information.

WebMILS provides information on the international labor standards included in the 1998 ILO Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, with the addition of 'acceptable conditions of work.' These are:

* Freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective
bargaining;
* The elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labor;
* The effective abolition of child labor;
* The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation; and
* Acceptable conditions of work with respect to minimum wages, hours of work, and
occupational safety and health

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
