Further to its observation, the Committee hopes the Government's next report will include information on the following matters:

1. The Committee refers to its previous direct request and has noted the Government's references to the co-ordinating (the Supreme Co-ordination Council of Employment Creation) and tripartite consultative (the Special Expertise Committees) machinery. It again requests information as to the procedures adopted by these bodies and their practical functioning, as indicated under Articles 2 and 3 in the report form approved by the Governing Body. Please indicate to what extent the employment service is involved in the formulation of labour market policies.

2. The Committee noted in its last direct request that ILO/UNDP assistance had been received in a labour market information project. It notes the Government now refers to a possible new ILO/UNDP project for the improvement of labour statistics. The Committee hopes the next report will include information on the status of this project and any other technical co-operation projects ongoing, and on the effective measures taken to collect and analyse labour market information, and conduct research into, for example, the development and application of labour-intensive, as opposed to capital-intensive, work methods (Article 2 of the Convention).

3. Whilst the Committee has noted the general indications in the report as to general economic policy measures relating to investment, trade and incomes, it would be grateful for details of any employment effects directly attributed to such measures (question 1 under Article 1 in the report form).

4. The Committee has noted with interest the information on skill-acquisition courses provided: the Government indicates that in one such programme 83.5 per cent of participants were placed in employment. The Committee hopes further details of this kind will be supplied. It would also be glad of information concerning the relation of education (especially primary education) to employment opportunities (question 3 under Article 1 in the report form).

5. The Committee notes that particular attention has been given to the development of the private sector, especially small-scale enterprises, through both financial and practical assistance from the Government. Please indicate how far employment is planned to be or has been created as a result of these policies (Article 1(1)).

6. The Committee has noted the general indications as to regional policies, the promotion of rural employment and certain projects for infrastructure improvement. Please include information on the development of these in the next report, indicating in particular, if possible, the numbers of jobs involved (question 1 under Article 1).

7. Please indicate any particular measures taken in aid of the employment of returning migrant workers, referred to in the report, and handicapped workers (question 2 under Article 1).

8. Please describe briefly how employment policy objectives are related to other social objectives (Article 1(3)).

9. Please indicate what measures have been taken to make sure work is as productive as possible (Article 1(2)(a)).
