Convention No 122
Employment Policy Convention
General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,
which was convened by the Board of Directors of the International Labour Office to Geneva and met there on 17 June 1964 at its 48th session,
Taking into account that the Philadelphia Declaration recognises the solemn commitment of the International Labour Organisation to support the implementation of programmes among the nations of the world to achieve full employment and to raise living standards, as well as the fact that the preamble of the International Labour Organisation Constitution is to combat unemployment and to secure wages ensuring satisfactory living conditions,
further taking into account that, according to the provisions of the Philadelphia Declaration, it is the responsibility of the International Labour Organisation to examine and assess the impact of economic and financial policy on employment policy with a focus on the fundamental objective of "all people, regardless of race, religion or sex, have the right to seek both their material benefits and their spiritual development in terms of freedom and dignity, economic security and equal opportunities,"
Taking into account that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to fair and satisfactory working conditions and to protect against unemployment ',
Recalling the provisions of existing international employment conventions and recommendations that are directly related to employment policy, in particular the Convention and Recommendation on employment intermediaries (1948), the Recommendation on professional advice (1949), the Recommendation on professional training (1962) and the Convention and the Recommendation on discrimination in employment and occupation (1958),
taking into account the need to apply these instruments within the broader framework of the international economic development programme based on full and productive employment and the freely chosen employment,
Decide to adopt certain proposals concerning employment policy, which are the eighth item of the agenda; and
Decide that these proposals will take the form of an international convention,
adopts on 9 July 1964 the following Convention, which will be referred to as the Employment Policy Convention, 1964:
1. In order to promote economic growth and development, to raise living standards, to cover labour needs and to overcome unemployment and incomplete employment, each Member State shall declare and implement as one of its main objectives an active policy aimed at promoting full and productive employment and free choice of employment.
2. This policy will ensure that:
(a) there will be a job for all those who can work and seek work;
(b) this work will be as productive as possible;
(c) there will be a free choice of employment and the widest possible possibility for every worker to be qualified for the job for which he is best suited and to be able to use his skills and talents regardless of his race, colour, sex, religion, political beliefs, national or social origin.
3. This policy will take due account of the degree and level of economic development and the correlation between the employment objectives and other economic and social objectives and will be implemented by methods consistent with national conditions and practices.
Each Member State shall use methods and to the extent appropriate to its national conditions:
(a) establish and regularly adjust, within the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy, the measures to be taken to achieve the objectives referred to in Article 1;
(b) take the necessary steps to implement these measures, including, if necessary, the development of programmes.
In implementing this Convention, the representatives of the persons affected by the measures to be taken, in particular the representatives of employers and workers, shall be consulted on the employment policy, in order to take full account of their experience and views and to ensure their full cooperation in determining and obtaining support for this policy.

2. Any Member State which has ratified this Convention and which does not exercise the right to denounce it under this Article during the year following the expiry of a period of 10 years, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, shall be bound by the Convention for a further 10-year period and shall then be able to terminate it at the end of each 10-year period under the conditions laid down in this Article.

The Director-General of the International Labour Office shall communicate to the Secretary-General of the United Nations for registration in accordance with Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations the full details of all the ratifications and statements he has entered in accordance with the provisions of the previous Articles.
Whenever deemed necessary, the Administrative Board of the International Labour Office shall present a report to the General Conference on the implementation of this Convention and examine whether it is appropriate to put on the agenda of the General Conference a question of its complete or partial revision.
1. Where the General Conference adopts a new Convention which fully or partially revises this Convention and does not provide otherwise for the new Convention:
(a) ratification by a Member State of a new revising convention shall cause the ipso jure to be terminated immediately, regardless of the provisions of Article 6, subject to the fact that the new revising convention becomes effective;
(b) since the new revised Convention enters into force, this Convention shall cease to be open to the Member States for ratification.
