Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. In its previous comments, the Committee invited the Government to provide information on the measures taken by the National Employment, Training and Vocational Integration Agency (ANEFIP) to achieve the best possible organization of the labour market and to adapt its network of services to the needs of the economy and the economically active population, and to provide information on the progress achieved in placing persons with disabilities and young persons in employment. In this regard, the Committee notes the high unemployment rate in the country, which was 59.5 per cent in 2014, and which primarily affects young persons under 30 years of age (who account for 60.5 per cent of all unemployed). The Government indicates in its report that, on 21 September 2015, the ANEFIP issued a Decree establishing the Employment and Skills Observatory (ONEQ). The role of the ONEQ is to develop a database on employment and a register of private formal sector enterprises, undertake surveys of the needs of productive enterprises in the private sector and of the informal economy, compile statistics on active and unemployed persons and establish a national mechanism to monitor the entry of young persons into active life. With regard to the progress achieved in the vocational integration of young persons, the Government indicates that the National Vocational Integration and Adaptation Programme has been developed with the objective of training young persons who arrive early on the labour market without any qualifications. With reference to persons with disabilities, the Government indicates that the Labour Code has prohibited discrimination against persons with disabilities in employment since 2006 and that fiscal incentives have been introduced for employers who employ persons with disabilities. The Government adds that a draft Decree on incentives for the recruitment of workers with disabilities through the introduction of a quota based on the number of personnel in the enterprise has been submitted to the National Labour Employment and Social Security Council (CONTESS) in April 2016. With reference to statistics on the activities of the public employment service, according to the table in the ANEFIP report provided by the Government, the number of jobseekers registered with the ANEFIP in 2014 was 4,879, of whom 586 were placed in employment, or 12 per cent. The Committee notes that 269 of the persons placed in employment, or 46 per cent, were regularized. According to the National Employment Policy 2014–24 paper provided by the Government, regularized vacancies are job offers obtained by registered jobseekers without going through the ANEFIP. The report indicates that the difference between the number of new jobseekers and placements is very high, despite a rise in the number of placements between 2011 and 2014. The Government adds that the ANEFIP is planning to extend its action in the various regions of the country. The Committee requests the Government to provide information, including statistical data, on the impact of the National Vocational Integration and Adaptation Programme, and on the progress made with the draft Decree on the vocational integration of persons with disabilities, which was submitted to the CONTESS in April 2016. The Committee also requests the Government to continue providing updated information on the number and location of public employment offices, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the ONEQ, including the findings of its surveys on the needs of productive private sector enterprises and on the informal economy, and the statistics compiled on the active population, disaggregated by sex and age, where possible.
Articles 4 and 5. Participation of the social partners. In its previous comments, the Committee invited the Government to provide information on the activities of the advisory council and on the progress made in the formulation of the employment services policy. The Government’s report does not contain information on this subject. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the advisory council concerning the organization and operation of the employment service and on the progress made in formulating the employment service policy.
