Sindh Employment Report 2013: Skills

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. The Sindh Employment Trends Report 2013 is the first provincial report that provides a broad assessment of the labour market situation in Sindh. The report also looks at the various categories of employment, occupational groupings and provides insight to the overall demand of vocational training in the TEVT system and highlights trends in youth employment, gender gaps in employment and adult training. This report is a result of the technical assistance the ILO has provided to Sindh Technical Education Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) in establishing and building capacity of the Research and Development Unit in STEVTA and the capacity of its officials to collect and analyse data on employment and skills.
