History

It was first established on 13 January 1945 by the first Communist government that emerged from that year's elections under the name of the Ministry of Social Assistance.[2]

Since the establishment of the institution, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has been reorganized by joining other departments or merging with other ministries, thus making its name change several times. This list reflects the changes made since 1992:[3]

The ministry was dissolved in September 2017. The department of labour and social affairs was merged with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, while the Youth Department joined the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth.[4]
