Employment Services
Employment Services : ILO Convention No. 88 (1948) aims at a free public employment service. The Member State shall create and maintain a free public employment service, which shall have the task of ensuring the best possible organization of the employment market as an integral part of the national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment, and the development and use of productive resources. Detailed provisions of the Convention deal with the organization of the service and its cooperation with other bodies, with a view to providing efficient recruitment and placement. Convention No. 88 provides for the cooperation of employers' and workers' representatives in the running of the employment service, notably through consultative committees. It defines the functions of the employment service (placement, facilitating occupational and geographic mobility, employment market information, cooperation in the administration of unemployment insurance and other measures for the relief of the unemployed, etc.) and the measures to be taken by this service, taking account of the particular needs of certain categories of workers. Finally, it deals with the status and conditions of service of employment service staff (public officials enjoying guarantees of independence). See: Private employment agencies
