Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

Convention (n° 88) sur le service de l'emploi, 1948 - Aruba

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Contribution of employment services to employment promotion. The Committee notes the replies provided by the Government of Aruba in a report received in November 2009 in response to its 2007 direct request. The Government refers to its previous reports regarding the cooperation between public employment services and private employment agencies. The Committee notes that, in its General Survey of 2010 on employment instruments, it recalled that public employment services and private agencies are both actors in the labour market and should therefore mutually benefit from cooperation, as their common aim is to ensure a well-functioning labour market and the achievement of full employment. The Committee observes that, when private agencies operate in a particular labour market, an appropriate legal framework might be adopted to regulate them (please refer to Chapter III of the General Survey of 2010 on Convention No. 88 and the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181)). The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report updated information on the powers and functions of the authority responsible for a free public employment service in Aruba, including indications on any initiative taken to ensure the needs of particular categories of applicants (Article 7). Please also provide the data on the operation of the public employment services required in Part IV of the report form.
