Contribution of the employment service to promoting employment. Cooperation of the social partners. The Committee notes the detailed report for the period ending in December 2010, received in February 2011. The Government indicates that the National Employment Agency (ANEM) acquired a new legal status in February 2006 giving it responsibility for a rehabilitation and modernization programme, to be implemented over the period from 2006 to 2009. According to the Government, under the programme, eight regional directorates and 32 agencies in provinces (wilayas) were built and the premises of local agencies were improved. Supervisory and other staff were recruited and 528 supervisors and staff members benefitted from a training programme on employment counselling. The Committee also notes Executive Decree No.10-101 of 29 March 2010 on the creation, organization and operation of the National Employment Promotion Committee. The National Committee consists solely of ministerial representatives and issues opinions on all employment-related issues. The Committee refers to its comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and invites the Government to specify in its next report on Convention No. 88 the manner in which ANEM’s activities have contributed to promoting employment and combating unemployment. The Committee again stresses the importance of including in the next report information on the manner in which the representatives of employers and workers have participated in the effective operation of ANEM (Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention). It also invites the Government to include in its next report up-to-date information on applications for employment received, vacancies notified and persons placed in employment by the regional, wilaya and local offices (Part IV of the report form).

Youth employment. In its observation of 2010 on Convention No. 122, the Committee took note of a vocational integration assistance mechanism for young people (DAIP). In its report on Convention No. 88, the Government indicates that apart from the DAIP, the employment services provide personalized assistance in the form of guidance to young people as to choice of training. The Committee invites the Government in its next report to provide more specific information on the measures taken by ANEM and the other services concerned in combating youth unemployment and obtaining jobs for low-skilled or unskilled young people.

Article 6(d) of the Convention. Collaboration between ANEM and the National Unemployment Insurance Fund. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that ANEM cooperates with the National Unemployment Insurance Fund (CNAC) in the delivery of unemployment attestations and the granting of unemployment allowance for workers made redundant. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on other areas where ANEM and the CNAC cooperate to ensure effective placement of the unemployed.
