Punjab Employment Trends: 2013
Punjab Employment Trends Report is the first of the series that covers twelve key indicators of the labour market. The report analyses the labour market in Punjab for the period 2007-2011. The structure of employment is examined using status in employment, employment by sector, educational attainment and other indicators that can be used to assess the attainment of decent work.
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.
