Article 1 of the Convention. Implementation of an active employment policy. The Committee takes note of the updated statistical data contained in the Government’s report received in August 2010. The Committee notes an increase in unemployment from 2007 to 2009 and a slight increase among the total number of employed persons. The Government indicates initiatives through the departments of education, commerce, employment and social security to ensure that all sectors of the community can access appropriate employment or supportive training to obtain sustainable employment. The Committee notes special employment assistance for vulnerable groups including young persons, people with disabilities, ex-offenders and people with mental health needs. Through the Billet d’Etat XX from September 2010, the Government indicates strategic plans to promote employment in sustained service trades, employment uses with low-added value and business start-ups. The Committee invites the Government to include in its next report further information on employment and training initiatives for the implementation of an active employment policy.
