Measures to combat unemployment. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in May 2012 in reply to its previous comments. The Committee notes that in 2009, the Central Recruitment and Manpower Agency (CRMA) embarked on a promotional drive to reintroduce its services for employers and unemployed persons. This was done through the distribution of registration forms to secondary schools and graduating students of the National Training Programme for Youth Empowerment (NTPYE), the advertisement of CRMA services in newspapers and the distribution of its brochures to private and public agencies to develop effective partnerships with major stakeholders. In 2009, 2,023 of the 2,723 jobseekers registered at the CRMA were placed in employment. The Committee further notes that the NTPYE, run since 2006 by the Board of Industrial Training (BIT) in collaboration with vocational education and training institutions, is aimed at training unemployed youth in skills that are vital for the labour market. In 2009, 1,498 young persons were trained under this project. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information in its next report on the measures taken to combat unemployment, including data on the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by the CRMA (Article 1 of the Convention). The Committee also requests the Government to supply disaggregated data on young persons obtaining employment following their participation in the NTYPE. Please also describe the steps taken to coordinate the operation of public and private employment services (Article 2(2)). The Committee also refers to the 2010 General Survey concerning employment instruments and invites the Government and the social partners to contemplate ratifying more recent Conventions regarding the issues covered by Convention No. 2, that is, the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88), the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181).
