Punjab Employment Trends: 2013

To ensure that the labour market develops in an efficient way and generates decent work for all, governments formulate employment policies. This calls for the comprehensive collection, organization and analysis of labour market information. Labour market information is a foundation for defining employment strategies that foster decent and productive employment and macroeconomic policies. To achieve this purpose the ILO has provided technical assistance to the Department of Labour through strengthening the Labour Market Information and Resource Centre to generate market information that can feed into the designing of relevant employment policies.
