1. The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending 30 June 1990 and the information supplied in reply to its previous comments.

2. In its observation of 1990, the Committee referred to various constraints (the economic crisis, the level of investments and demographic pressure) which were creating an imbalance on the labour market and requested information on the achievement of employment objectives in the five-year period 1985-1989. The Government's report describes an achievement rate of 40 per cent for the objective of creating jobs (of which one half were in the administrative sector) during the above period. In 1989, the labour force survey indicated that the unemployment rate for the active population was around 20 per cent, and this rate could now be around 25 per cent. The category most affected by this situation is young persons seeking their first job.

3. The Committee notes with interest the priority given by the plan to the human resources development and the information supplied on the Government's action programme, particularly as regards policies in the fields of investment, the labour market, education, training and special youth programmes. A request for further information is being addressed directly to the Government on the implementation of the employment policy measures that have been taken or are envisaged.

4. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to give all due attention to declaring and pursuing, "as a major goal", an "active policy" designed to promote employment, in the sense of the Convention, which takes due account of the mutual relationships between employment objectives and other economic and social objectives. In this connection, as suggested in Recommendation No. 122, the attainment of the social objectives of employment policy should be coordinated in particular with measures affecting investment, production and economic growth, the growth and distribution of incomes, social security, fiscal and monetary policies and the free movement of goods, capital and labour (Annex to Recommendation No. 122, Paragraph 2).
