Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Measures to combat unemployment. The Government provides in its report detailed information on the measures to counter unemployment, which include Youth to Action, DARE – Knowledge and Experience, Education is a working option, A Working Way, and Reinforcement. The Committee notes that the Directorate of Labour commissioned a market-research company to examine the effect of these five campaigns by means of surveys among the participants at the end of 2013. Assessed overall, 74 per cent of the participants in the programmes were, at the time of the questionnaire, either in employment or in study courses or in a combination of both. In reply to the previous comments concerning the invitation to consider the ratification of the most recent employment instruments, the Government indicates that the Icelandic Tripartite ILO Committee held consultations on this issue during the reporting period. The Committee refers in this regard to its comments on the application to the Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144). The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the measures taken to combat unemployment and on the measures taken to coordinate the operations of public and private employment services.
