Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Government reports that the Department of Labour has hired 30 new temporary Employment Counsellors for the period from 2018 to 2021, to strengthen the capacity of the Public Employment Service (PES) and provide individualized and person-centred services to unemployed persons in vulnerable situations. In this regard, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government under the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), regarding the extension of the temporary Employment Counsellors’ contracts for two additional years and their placement in regional/local PES Offices where they offer employment services, including vocational guidance, job placements and referral to training and/or employment programmes/schemes, mainly to unemployed persons, particularly those belonging to specific groups such as young persons and the long-term unemployed. The Government indicates that the PES has improved its Information and Technologies system in order to support automated registration processing and to expand its digital services. The Government further indicates that the number of unemployed persons registered with the PES stood at 22,321 in 2019, rising to 30,171 in 2020. However, the number of job vacancies notified decreased from 24,202 in 2019 to 16,093 in 2020, while the number of persons placed in employment by the PES decreased from 3,341 in 2019 to 2,810 in 2020. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated information on the nature and impact of the activities carried out by the Public Employment Service and the manner in which it ensures “the best possible organisation of the employment market as an integral part of the national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment and the development and use of productive resources” (Article 1(2)). The Government is also requested to continue to provide detailed information, including statistical data disaggregated by sex and age, on the operation of the public employment service, particularly in respect of the number of registered unemployment persons, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by the PES offices.
