The Department of Labor and Employment started as a small bureau in 1908 under the then
Department of Commerce and Police. It had, for its principal functions, the registration of
laborers, the compilation and analysis of statistics pertaining labor market situation, the
organization of employment agencies, and the settlement of disputes.
Today, the DOLE is the national government agency mandated to formulate policies,
implement programs and projects as well as serve as the policy-coordinating arm of the
Executive Branch in the field of labor and employment.
It serves over 43 million workers comprising the country’s labor force, covering those in the
formal and informal economies. On top of this, the DOLE clients also include workers’
organizations, employers and/or employers’ groups, non-government organizations (NGOs),
and other government agencies, the academe, other stakeholders, international
organizations (e.g. ILO, IOM, UNDP, UNICEF), and the international community including
the host countries of our OFWs.
To carry out its mandate, the DOLE has 16 Regional Offices, 83 Field Offices with 4 Satellite
Offices, 36 Overseas Posts, 5 Bureaus, 7 Staff Services and 10 Agencies attached to it for
administrative supervision or for policy and program coordination.
