¿Por qué el Ministerio de Trabajo en España se creó en el año 1920? Una aproximación

The article seeks an approximation to the creation of the Ministry of Labor in Spain in 1920. The opportunity of this new institution in the post-war situation is considered, as well as its contemporaneity with respect to other European countries. A similar chronology is found with respect to Western European countries and a similar motivation, within the framework of the founding of the ILO. Despite the analogies, the Spanish case stands out for the simultaneity of the crisis of the political regime, the economic crisis and a climate of radicalism and exacerbated social violence. The timing of the creation of the Ministry of Labor in 1920 does not presuppose any comparative assessment of its management and operation in labor matters.
