Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Committee notes the succinct report provided by the Government in May 2010. In its 2008 observation the Committee noted that, in the context of its policy to combat unemployment and poverty, the Government established some public policies with a view to stimulating employment. It further noted that employment and vocational training were one of the ten priorities of the poverty reduction strategy, which should channel the resources obtained from oil to create favourable opportunities for productive employment for young persons and to reduce the informal economy. The Committee observed that the social indicators were a source of great concern – 70 per cent of the population survived on less than US$2 a day and enrolment in primary schools was increasing very slowly (from 50 per cent in 1990 to 53 per cent in 2000). It therefore emphasized the need to guarantee the essential function of employment services to promote employment in the country. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the employment service staff is composed of public officials who are hired through public competition according to the needs of the Ministry of Public Administration, Employment and Social Security and of the employment centre. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide a report containing the available statistical information on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, vacancies notified and persons placed in employment by such offices (Part IV of the report form) and to provide information on the following matters:

–      consultations held with representatives of employers and workers on the organization and operation of the employment service, and on the development of employment policy (Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention);

–      the manner in which the employment service is organized and the activities which it performs to effectively carry out the functions set out in Article 6;

–      the activities of the public employment service in relation to socially vulnerable categories of jobseekers, with particular reference to workers with reduced mobility and disabilities (Article 7);

–      the results of the measures adopted to give effect to Act No. 1 of 2006 to encourage young persons seeking their first job (Article 8);

–      the measures proposed by the Training Centre for Trainers (CENFOR) and other institutions to provide training or further training to employment service staff (Article 9(4));

–      the measures proposed by the employment service in collaboration with the social partners to encourage the full use of employment service facilities (Article 10); and

–      the measures adopted or envisaged by the employment service to secure cooperation between the public employment service and private employment agencies (Article 11).

The Committee recalls that the Office is in a position to provide the Government with technical advice and assistance for the establishment of a public employment service, as required by the Convention.
