Modernization of the employment service. The Committee notes the report for the period ending May 2010. The Government attached to the report Decree No. 3436-MTSS published in December 2008 revising the national system of employment mediation, guidance and information and re-establishing a National Employment Mediation Council. The Government adds that in August 2009 the electronic employment mediation platform was launched. The Committee emphasizes that the implementation of Conventions Nos 88 and 122, ratified by Costa Rica, would give effect to the right to work and would assist in achieving full employment (Article 1(2) of the Convention). In the 2010 General Survey concerning employment instruments, the Committee emphasized that the public employment service is one of the institutions necessary to achieve full employment. The conjunction of Conventions Nos 88 and 122 forms part of a structure that is necessary for employment growth (see paragraphs 785–790 of the 2010 General Survey). The Committee refers to the comments that it has been making for many years and requests the Government to provide information so that it can examine the efficient operation of the free public employment service, with the participation of the social partners and comprising a network of employment offices sufficient in number to meet the needs of employers and workers throughout the country (Articles 1 to 5 of the Convention).

Part IV of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical information on the number of employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by the national employment mediation, guidance and information system.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
