History

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs was established in 1957 by Proclamation 15 as the Ministry of Community Development during the reign of Haile Selassie, and this name stayed for nearly a decade, after which it was renamed to the Ministry of Community Development and Social Affairs in 1966 by Proclamation 46.[1]

In 1977, during the derg regime, the ministry was named the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.[1][2] It is under the leadership of Ergoge Tesfaye since 16 October 2018. The ministry has two main sections, named Labor Affairs, and Social Affairs; the latter has two directorates, Employment and Peaceful Industrial Relation Directorate[3] and Overseas Employment and Workers Safety Protection Directorate.[4]
