Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2010, which includes detailed statistics on the numbers of vacancies and applications for employment within the ten Employment Promotion Units, registered vacancies by department and sex, and other relevant data on the operation of the public employment service. The Government suggests that the service is not being used by enterprises. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the new measures adopted to ensure the efficient operation of the free public employment service comprising a network of employment offices sufficient in number to meet the needs of employers and workers throughout the country (Articles 1–3 of the Convention). The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to supply information on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices (Part IV of the report form).

Cooperation with the social partners. In the 2010 General Survey concerning employment instruments, the Committee noted that in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, employers’ and workers’ organizations, as well as other civil society organizations, cooperate even further with the public institutions. The Committee noted that these organizations actively participate and share responsibility with the public employment service in regard to policy development, implementation and even co-financing of certain programmes (paragraph 215 of the General Survey). The Committee requests the Government to include up-to-date, detailed information in its next report on the cooperation of the social partners in the operation of the employment service at both the national and local levels (Articles 4 and 5).
