The Ministry of Labour and Social Economy (MITES) is the department of the Government of Spain responsible for designing and implementing the government policy on labour and labour relations, employment, unemployment benefits and self-employment, social economy and corporate social responsibility. The Labour Department was created by prime minister Eduardo Dato in 1920, and has existed ever since. In addition to labour-related responsibilities, in the past it has also had, for most of its history, powers over social security and social protection, immigration and, occasionally, over health care, trade, industry and justice affairs. Its headquarters have been located in the Nuevos Ministerios government complex since the 1960s, and it also has additional offices for certain agencies throughout the city of Madrid. In addition, it has regional and provincial offices across the country.
