The Committee notes the Government’s brief replies received in February 2011 to some points raised in the 2007 direct request.
Articles 1, 3 and 6 of the Convention. Contribution of the employment service to employment promotion. The Government reports that, for the period 2008–09, 171,681 persons were registered as jobseekers and 33,390 vacancies were notified. The Government also reports that there are public employment exchange service offices in all nine regional states and two city administrations, and that it has established sufficient employment offices at the federal, regional and woreda levels. The Government further indicates that, based on the provisions of Article 6 of the Convention, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has issued a directive concerning the manner for the registration of jobseekers and vacancies, as well as the placement of jobseekers. The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified, and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices (Part IV of the report form). Furthermore, the Committee once again requests the Government to include in its next report information on the activities carried out by the employment services and the effects of the activities on its poverty reduction strategy.
Articles 4 and 5. Participation of social partners. The Government reiterates information indicating that a Labour Advisory Board was established composed of an equal number of government, employer and worker representatives. The Government also indicates that the Labour Advisory Board has adopted its own rules and bylaws. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the Labour Advisory Board in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of employment service policy.
Article 11. Cooperation with private employment agencies. The Government indicates that cooperation between the public employment service and private employment agencies is secured effectively through trainings arranged for both public and private employment service providers, and periodic consultative meetings on the promotion of efficient and effective employment services. The Committee notes that Employment Exchange Service Proclamation No. 392/2009 establishes, among the functions of the public employment service, the issuance of licences to private employment agencies and supervision of their activities to ensure compliance with the conditions of their licences. The Committee invites the Government to provide information, including practical examples, on the impact of the measures taken to secure effective cooperation between the public employment service and private employment agencies.
