ILO, 2011. The research brief is a digest of the 'Comparative analysis of methods of identificaiton of skill needs on the labour market in transition to the low carbon economy'. It addresses policy makers, social partners and practitioners.
The regional activity of the Japan funded 2010 Programme (ILO/Regional Skills Programme/Japan Skills Development in Asia and the Pacific 2010) entitled “Addressing Skills Mismatch through PPP” has clearly indicated that a strong partnership between government, employers and workers is an essential feature of an effective and enduring bond between the world of learning and the world of work. The findings of the 2010 regional activity also included an expression of a strong interest, by the participating countries, for further technical inputs on Labour Market Information Systems (LMIS). It has been agreed that the lack of LMI (and skills data) is one of the reasons behind the skills mismatch (existence of both large number of vacancies and high unemployment) and a major constraint for policy making. In this connection, this national workshop will help provide an opportunity for stakeholders in the India skills ecosystem to meet the objectives listed in the section below.
