Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2016, published 106th ILC session (2017)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Algeria (Ratification: 1962)

Articles 1 and 3–5 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. Cooperation of the social partners. In response to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government refers in its report to the 11 regional employment directorates and the 266 agencies which make up the National Employment Agency (ANEM). There are on average five agencies for each wilaya (territorial community). With regard to the cooperation of employers and workers in the organization and operation of the employment service, the Government indicates that their representatives are members of the administrative council of the ANEM, and that they accordingly examine and approve the respective plans of action and their assessments. The Committee once again requests the Government to communique up-to-date information in its next report on the applications for employment received, vacancies notified and persons placed in employment by local employment offices at the regional, wilaya and local levels. The Committee also refers to its comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and requests the Government to specify, in the context of Convention No. 88, the manner in which the activities of the ANEM have contributed to promoting employment and combating unemployment. The Committee further requests the Government to provide fuller information on the manner in which the representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations are consulted on the implementation of employment service measures.

Youth employment. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken by the ANEM and the other services concerned to combat youth unemployment and find jobs for low-skilled or unskilled young persons.

Article 6(d). Collaboration between the ANEM and the National Unemployment Insurance Fund (CNAC). Please provide information on the means of collaboration established between the ANEM and the CNAC to ensure the effective placement of the unemployed.
