Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122) - Greenland

Display in: French - SpanishView all

The Committee notes the Governments report received in November 2010 which enumerates the legislative acts, regulations and statutory orders related to the Convention. It further notes the indications added by the Confederation of Greenlandic Employers on some of the texts listed in the report. IMAK also made remarks to the report by inviting the Government to indicate if new measures and changes have taken place since the last reporting and the impact of the new legislation in the labour market. IMAK noted that no statistical or similar data regarding employment as required by the report form was added to the report. The Committee therefore refers to its previous direct requests, and asks the Government to supply in its next report, due in 2011, detailed information on the employment trends and active labour market policies adopted in line with Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. It reiterates its request for detailed information on the measures taken to match supply and demand in the labour market and to overcome the difficulties in achieving the objectives of full and productive employment established in the Convention.

Collection and analysis of labour market data. In its previous reports, the Government indicated that the labour market database Suliaq was not fully implemented and it expected that it will be fully exploitable during the coming years. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report the progress achieved in the collection of employment data with an indication of the employment measures adopted as a result of the analysis resulting from the implementation of the labour market database.

Article 3. Participation of the social partners in the formulation and application of policies.The Committee asks the Government to include information, in its next report, on the consultations held with the social partners including details of their contribution to the implementation and evaluation of an active employment policy.
