The National Policy on Employment Summary
November 21, 2007 - 08:53 AM
|
|
The National Policy on Employment sets out the policy objectives, strategies and framework for meeting rising unemployment and underemployment in Nigeria. Like every other policy document, it comprises five (5) parts – context, challenges, objectives, strategies and institutional framework for policy implementation.
Essentially – context details the past and current policy environment; challenges explain/clarify what the employment issues are and why they must be addressed; objectives indicates the main areas the policy focuses on in attempting to deal with unemployment and underemployment; strategies discuss some to specific actions that must be embarked upon; and, institutional framework for implementation explains the various institutions that must participate and their specific roles.
In summary, the policy calls for “a multi-pronged approach to employment generation” and states that the main requirement for implementation will be “political determination (sic)… at all levels of government, in all sectors”.
The policy aims to achieve the following:
•Advance the goal of full employment
•Improve the productivity of labour
•Provide equal opportunities for all
•Protect Rights
•Comply with international labour standards
•Secure stakeholders cooperation
To achieve these objectives, the policy states that following are key requirements:
Section 4.9
Mainstreaming Special Groups
• Women
• Youth
• Disabled
• Others (Retrenched Workers, Retired Workers)
[
[b]Notes
Though this summary was prepared to give a quick view of the employment policy, it is advisable to view the entire document.
Of particular note is Section 4.9 - Mainstreaming Special Groups
• Women
• Youth
• Disabled
• Others (Retrenched Workers, Retired Workers)
All these groups have an average of a few paragraphs each. This is inadequate and needs to be addressed
Please let us read your imputs because it very import. You can reach pamale via miz_pdb@yahoo.com . you can also use and view the YES NIGERIA EMPLOYMENT POLICY REVIEW TOOLKIT at CLCWA Nigerian Project page http://projects.takingitglobal.org/clcwestafrica-nigeria. Thanks

It is a nice summary. I had appreciate the nature and endorse it, but I hope a holistic approach had been adopted...
