Repetition Article 1 of the Convention. Implementation of an active employment policy. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report received in August 2012, along with the Guernsey Quarterly Labour Market Bulletin of June 2012. The Committee notes a slight increase in total employment from the first quarter of 2010 (31,605 persons) to the first quarter of 2012 (32,109 persons). In this same period, unemployment slightly increased, from 339 to 416 people. The Government indicates in its report that the States Strategic Plan 2011–16 has the following general objectives: to achieve full employment; to develop a skilled and flexible labour market; to promote equality of educational opportunity; and to encourage all who need, or are able, to work to find employment. The Government also reports that it has introduced a system of monitoring performance against strategic aims. The States Strategic Monitoring Report 2011 provided that key performance indicators will be developed in order to monitor the progress of the skills strategy, which the Skills Strategy Development Group has been tasked with producing. The group has identified the need to improve the information and evidence on Guernsey’s skills and skills needs. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on employment and training measures launched within the implementation of an active employment policy.
