Latvia has been a member state of the ILO since 1991.

The ILO assisted Latvia in its economic and labour market transformation and in its accession to the EU in 2004. Main areas of work included social dialogue, the effects of privatisation and labour market transition, active labour market policies, labour law revision, and pension reform.

Since the country joined the EU in 2004, collaboration has been ad hoc. The last technical assistance project of the ILO in Latvia was an EU-funded project for establishing a youth guarantee scheme (2015 to 2017).
