Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the unemployment rate, which still remains very low, and the data from the 1986 census concerning the working population, and notes, however, that employment statistics are not regularly compiled. It also notes that the special employment and training schemes, which have been referred to previously, continued to operate with success. With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply the information on the rate of placements achieved by the Labour and Welfare Committee, in particular through improved labour market information and contact with prospective employers. In particular, please supply information on the employment situation in light industry and in financial establishments, which were covered by one of the Government's previous reports.

2. The Committee notes the Right to Work (Limitation and Proof) (Guernsey) Law of 1990. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the application of this Law as regards its implications on the employment situation and on employment policy. It would also be grateful if it would supply information on the short- and medium-term objectives of its labour market policy, in connection with which the suggestions contained in Part X of Recommendation No. 169 may be useful concerning certain aspects of the relation between international migration and employment.
