Abstract
During its 100-year existence, the ILO has created 189 conventions. Each country chooses to ratify a convention, or not. When conventions are ratified by a country, legislation must be implemented nationally. The question remains, whether these ratifications have the desired impact. This thesis aims to find out what conditions affect whether legislation is created in a country after ratification. It researches the impact of a country’s development level, membership of an international organisation or agreement and the unionisation, based on research of three conventions and ten countries for each convention. For this research, the QCA-method, which combines qualitative and quantitative research, is used. The findings are slightly unexpected, with respect to the hypotheses. According to the results, none of the conditions are sufficient or necessary for the outcome, which is the creation of legislation after ratification of the specific convention. A combination of a high development level and strong unionisation does seem to affect the outcome, however, not in a way that makes it sufficient or necessary according to the QCA-standards.
