Employment Policy
Employment Policy : ILO Convention No. 122 (1964) aims to achieve full, productive and freely chosen employment. The Convention requires, as a major goal, the declaration mand pursuit of an active policy designed to promote full employment with a view to stimulating economic growth and development, raising levels of living, meeting human resources requirements and overcoming unemployment and underemployment. The policy aims at ensuring that there is work for all who are available for and seeking it, that such work is as productive as possible and that there is freedom of choice of employment. Each worker shall have the fullest possible opportunity to qualify for, and use his/her skills and endowments in a job for which the worker is well suited, without discrimination. Employment policy shall take due account of the stage and level of economic development and the mutual relationships between employment objectives and other economic and social objectives, and shall be pursued by methods that are appropriate to national conditions and practices. The measures to be adopted for attaining the specified objectives shall be decided and kept under review within the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy. Finally, Convention No. 122 provides for consultation of representatives of the persons affected by the measures to be taken, and in particular representatives of employers and workers.
