Timor Leste: Enterprise and Skills Survey (ESS), January 2014
In 2014, the Labour Market Information Department (DIMT) in the Secretariat of State for Professional Training and Employment Policy (SEPFOPE) undertook a second Enterprise and Skills Survey (ESS). This follows the ESS 2013 which was conducted in 2013 which targeted over 800 enterprises in Timor-Leste. ESSs are useful exercises that can enable regular analysis of the labour market situation.
The ESS 2014 builds on the findings of ESS 2013 and provides the reader a more comprehensive overview of the labour market and evolving priorities of the enterprises vis-àvis skills.
The survey confirms some of the key findings from ESS 2013. There is continued growth in employment and demand for skills in construction and service sectors of the economy.
