The Committee notes the observations of the Trade Union Association of Agricultural, Banana and Rural Workers (ASTAC), received on 22 January 2020. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard.
Articles 1–3 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Committee notes the indication in the Government’s report that the Employment Club Network (Red Social Empleo) has 28 offices at the national level in 21 of the 24 provinces in the country, and also has an online platform. The Government adds that, between January 2015 and June 2021, through the services of the Network, 263,104 persons were placed in dependent employment at the national level, including 52,623 during the course of 2020. According to the data provided by the Government, the provinces with the highest number of persons placed in jobs in 2020 were Orellana (7,992), Pichincha (7,472) and Sucumbios (7,272), and the province with the lowest number of people placed was Galápagos (nine). Most of the job placements were in the services (11,486), construction (10,011) and public (9,699) sectors. The Government also indicates that 39,327 job vacancies were created, 85,946 vacancies were sought and 175,526 persons were registered in the Employment Club Network in 2020. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing detailed information, including statistics disaggregated by gender and age, on the measures adopted to ensure the efficient operation of the public employment service and on their impact. Observing that the number of provinces covered by the offices of the Employment Club Network has fallen from 32 to 21 since 2014, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the reasons for this reduction in coverage and its impact, particularly on the least economically developed areas. The Committee also requests the Government to continue providing information on the number of persons seeking employment, the number of vacancies notified and the placements made through the Employment Club Network.
Articles 4 and 5. Cooperation with the social partners. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Employment Club Network undertakes activities to strengthen the vocational profile of citizens, including the provision of free monthly capacity-building courses based on cooperation between private enterprises and public institutions. During 2020, a total of 1,223 skills courses were recorded, with 65,535 persons receiving skills training. The Government adds that one of the essential activities of the public employment service is capacity building for new enterprises, especially in the private sector, and that 7,261 enterprises received training in 2020. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing updated and detailed information on the impact of the measures adopted, in collaboration with the social partners, to ensure the best possible use of the employment service.
Article 7. Particular categories of applicants for employment. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, with a view to promoting linkages between labour supply and demand, with special emphasis on vulnerable groups requiring priority attention, the Employment Club Network organizes employment fairs which facilitate the matching of the vacancies available on the labour market with jobseekers. It adds that virtual fairs have been organized in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information, including statistics disaggregated by gender and age, on the impact of the employment fairs organized by the Employment Club Network in relation to vulnerable groups requiring priority attention.
