Abstract

Contrary to the expectation that only ratifying States comply with ILO Conventions, this article argues that even non-ratifying States improve their domestic standards consistent with ILO Conventions to enhance their legitimacy. Using a new historical database, I track changes in maternity leave provisions in 160 countries between 1883 and 2018 in the light of the International Labour Conference's adoption of the Maternity Protection Conventions. The empirical findings confirm that both non-ratifying and ratifying States expanded the terms and conditions of their paid maternity leave policies shortly thereafter.

国际条约是否只对批准国产生影响？1883年至2018年间，国际劳工组织《产妇保护公约》对160个国家的影响

与只有批准国遵守劳工组织公约的预期相反，本条认为，即使是未批准国也要根据劳工组织公约改进其国内标准，以提高其合法性。根据国际劳工大会通过的《产妇保护公约》，我使用一个新的历史数据库跟踪了1883年至2018年间160个国家产假规定的变化。实证研究结果证实，未批准和批准的国家不久后都扩大了其带薪产假政策的条款和条件。
