Convenio sobre la política del empleo, 1964 (núm. 122) - Curazao

Active labour market measures. In a report received in October 2010, the Government indicates that it conducted a labour force survey (LFS) in October 2009. The LFS determined in 2009 that the employed population in Curaçao remained practically unchanged when compared to 2008. The number of jobseekers decreased by almost 7 per cent and consequently the unemployment rate declined from 10.3 per cent in October 2008 to 9.7 per cent in October 2009. Furthermore, the Committee notes that youth unemployment decreased from 26.3 per cent in 2008 to 24.7 per cent in 2009. The Committee invites the Government to include information in its next report on the measures taken to ensure an active employment policy as required by Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. It would also welcome specific information on measures adopted to create productive employment opportunities for young persons, and on the consultations held with the representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations, including details of their contribution to the design and implementation of an active employment policy (Article 3 of the Convention).
