Contribution of the employment service to the promotion of employment. The Committee notes the detailed replies provided by the Government in August 2010 to its 2005 direct request, including comprehensive data on the operation of the public employment service. It notes that the Government developed and upgraded about 180 employment offices at the country level, in cooperation with Canada and the United States. Five offices are being developed in cooperation with Italy in Alexandria, Fayyoum, Aswan, Luxor and 6 October. The Committee notes with interest that these efforts aim to establish units in all employment service offices for the promotion of employment of young persons, providing orientation and identifying the appropriate training for young jobseekers. The Government also indicates that the public employment services contribute to the formulation of new policies and mechanisms to regulate the employment of workers in irregular conditions and to upgrade existing specialized units, in order to facilitate the placement in special sectors of the economy. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information in its next report on the results achieved through the establishment and development of the employment offices in terms of ensuring the best possible organization of the employment market and meeting the new requirements of the economy and the active population (Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention).
